[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2670158, member: 87243"] The one place you need to be careful on overtwisting a bullet is causing it to come apart. I ran the 85 grain sierra varminters in my 8 twist .260 ai, and even with foreforming loads, would have one occasionally come apart before hitting the target. About 500 rounds on the barrel at that time. The ones that did make it to the target shot around .5 MOA though, ha ha. Also shot the 40 grain v-max's in a 7 twist .223, a ruger mini 14, had to keep loads moderate in that gun to keep them together. It had a pretty rough throat though, north of 2,500 rounds through that barrel, and we weren't very nice to it in the prarie dog fields. If you use monos though, this particular problem can be avoided. And in this particular application of an 8 twist 30 nosler, you would probably have to run a 130 cup and core or something similar really fast to have any problems ha ha. [/QUOTE]
