[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2284269, member: 115658"] The Berger stability calculator uses the Miller method that is very conservative and provides Sg numbers that are on the safe side with a qualifier to the effect that "good groups might be obtained but...." Another site, JBM, has a stability calculator that uses the same Miller method,. I have played around with this stuff using a spread sheet that duplicates both Berger & JBM calculations. [ATTACH alt="Screenshot (234).png"]297296[/ATTACH] The math is shown on the top line. I have shot down silhouette chickens at 880 yards (half section) with a 10 twist .22-.250 using 68 Hornady hpbt bullets at 3250 fps., 2000 ft. elevation, 75*, dry day. The Sg for this combo is Sg=1.10 for this .987 inch long 68 grain .224 diameter bullet at 3250 fps from a 10 twist. Should not have been this good but was. All my .22-.250's now have 7.7 twists. I have a 10 twist .300 WM and intend to try some of this stuff out should anybody donate some real long pointy .30 bullets. [/QUOTE]
