[QUOTE="jpndave, post: 1829485, member: 5437"] With solids you can pretty much spin them as fast as you want. In fact, the faster the better - more stable, better BC and better terminal performance. Problems are jacketed bullets can come apart if lighter construction and any inconsistent jacket thickness will throw the bullets more the faster they spin. I know Bartlein and Rock Creek for sure will make you a 7 twist. I am debating 7 or 7-1/2 for the 6.5 I'm doing right now. It will be a Rock Creek. I really want to love the Hammers, but the BC is a little lacking. Their latest results show the faster twists get the BC at or better than quoted BC - which tracks with Bryan Litz's writing.
