[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 2819498, member: 7999"] Elevation helps the bullets fly but has nothing to do with terminal performance. We have learned to adapt the Miller formula to the longest lower density copper bullets by using standard atmosphere at sea level to calculate minimum required twist for the given bullet. The longer for caliber the bullets are the more important this is. If you are just shooting targets, I don't care. Terminal performance is the most important aspect to our hunting bullets. Pushing the twist rate for any bullet will cause you to have poor terminal performance. Tumbling bullets after impact sometimes work great and others they are terrible. [/QUOTE]
