[QUOTE="del2les, post: 1952462, member: 9299"] Even more the reason to not use a minimum twist, if it even works at SR, for in the LR/ELR trans and sub zones, it is best to use a faster twist than minimum from the beginning. Based on numerous factors, what a calc may state as minimum is not always real world results, so load a few and shoot. But remember, a borderline stable bullet at warmer temps, higher humidity and SR may have unacceptable stability during cooler, dryer or LR hunting conditions and/or lower elevations. I've had these experiences with a couple of loads/calibers. One example was a 115g Berger in a couple of 1/10tw 25-06's. One rifle would slightly keyhole the bullets at 100yds, and while the other showed stability at 1-200yds, when I tested that rifle/load at 500yds, the bullets had an unacceptably large group.
