[QUOTE="Gurn, post: 1164064, member: 4289"] Wow that was interesting how the twist affects BC, I had no clue. Then agin I aint the sharpest arra in the quiver. So can I guess that..... say my 1in10 is marginal making the BC lower for a longer heavy bullet. Is it possible a shorter lighter bullet with a little lower advertised BC might actually be higher BC in the real world. I mean it's going faster and better stabilized. I know years ago I shot most times for hunting Barnes X. I had a 270 Win that I'm sure had a 1 in 10. I bought plain old Hornady 150 round nose. ( the most accurate bullet I ever shot out of that 270) and some 150 Barnes. Yall know how long for weight them Barnes are. I was using the 150s because I was gonna hunt bear. Well the Hornadys was making one ragged hole groups and the Barnes were all over the place, you could see the holes were a little wide to. I talked to a few folks I respected about it and there answer was the bullets too long for your twist. Now back then I sure didn't have pockets full of money and them Barnes wernt cheap. I called them up and ask why they would sell a bullet that wont shoot outa a regular twist and not advertise that. Never did get a very good answer. Back then Barnes had a lot of other problems that they seemed to have ironed out. [/QUOTE]
