[QUOTE="hawlejr, post: 2533185, member: 86290"] Thank you. (unfortunately) I AM in the Peoples Republic of California. I have some 180 gr TTSX bullets I might try along with some 180 gr Nosler E-Tips, and some heavier Hornady GMXs as well. Your comment about the 1:9" twist is along the lines of what I expected. I was thinking 1 in 9.5", but 1:9 would be better. Is there a calculation for that, or did you go by the Barnes website, or how to come up with a number? I know that longer bullets ( or higher length over diameter, or l/d ratios ) require faster spins in general, and ogives and boat tails also impact the stability to some extent. I think I'll try the lighter non-leads and stop messing with different powders as a next step. [/QUOTE]
