[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 932733, member: 12995"] I wouldn't call that stabilizing them just fine... You might have to step down to the 140's with that slow of a twist. If the barrel shoots good, and has alot of life left, and you don't mind shooting 140gr bullets, then leave it alone, and drop bullet weight. But if you want to shoot 160-180's you're gonna need a 1:9 twist. Bullet weight alone doesn't affect tabilization but maybe 2/3 of the equation...Bullet design has to do with it as well. If the bullet has a really long bearing surface, you're gonna need a faster twist to stabilize it. [/QUOTE]
