[QUOTE="Joe King, post: 687548, member: 47325"] Speaking for personal experience. Pick the twist that will stabilize the longest heaviest bullets you think you'll ever shoot and go one step faster. I had 2 different rifles rebarreled. My 7mag I have always really liked heavy for caliber hunting bullets, and never figured I'd want to shoot vld bullets, so I got a 1 in 10 twist. Now I'm shooting vld bullets and 175gr and heavier vlds won't stabilize (or shouldn't) 1 in 9 and I would have been good. Did the same thing with my 22-250, and being stuck with 55gr or lighter the only exception is my riffle stabilizes a 53gr vmax when it shouldn't. One faster on both rifles would have opened a lot more options. [/QUOTE]
