[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1716306, member: 87243"] Twist rate is important for proper terminal performance, consistent ballistic performance at extended ranges and at times accuracy. If you do most of your shooting inside 600 yards, and can get them to shoot accurate at 100-200 yards, you may not have any issues with them, then again since you are marginally stable, all it could take is a cold day or some other atmospheric change to cause your bullet to have worse stability and fail. Not saying it can't be done or can't work, however personally, if you have a good load with the 210's I would stick with them until you need a new barrel, then go with a 1 in 9 for the 200+ bullets. The 9 twist would open you up to the possibility of some good mono's, and handle the 215's great as well. Also, I would ensure your tips are clear with a wire drill bit if you plan on hunting with them. Unstable or marginally stable bullets may deform, banana and tumble instead of properly expanding on game. Not saying it will happen, but it could, so make sure your tips are properly opened prior to using them on game to give yourself every advantage. [/QUOTE]
