[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1952015, member: 68875"] Here is what I am talking about. Berger used to put "optimal" twist rates on their boxes. Now they put "minimum". Like if you are shooting at 8000', 3300fps, and 85°F, minimum twist will work just fine.....but go down to 2000', 2750fps and 20°F, stabilty drops, meaning flight characteristics and BC drop too. Same bullet, same part #, same BC. Look at "Optimal" vs "Minimum" twist rates in the old packaging and the new. Opens up a lot more people that think they should use a certain bullet in their marginally twisted rifle.

[ATTACH type="full" alt="20200731_162732.jpg"]206342[/ATTACH] Check out the 142 NABLR vs 143 ELD-X Pretty similar lengths.
