[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1783954, member: 30902"] That was the standard for all just about all of the medium and large case 30's for about fifty years. With the heavier and heavier, longer and longer bullets that have come out over the last two decades that's slowly been changing. The 1:10 will stabilize all but the heavier bullets quite well 1:9 just about everything on the market today but even longer and heavier bullets are on the horizon, it's just a matter of time. Also, if the trend continues in 10-15 years max on most state and federal lands we're going to be restricted to non toxic projectiles and the solids will run 10-15% longer than an equal weight conventional bullet thus requiring a faster twist to stabilize.
