[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1442480, member: 7999"] The faster twist is good for better terminal performance and allows you to run heavier bullets but does not mean you have to run heavier. Heavier bullets usually have higher bc but will have less vel. Most often the really heavy for cal bullets will not overtake the lighter lower bc bullets until beyond 1000y or more. The lighter faster bullet will have much better point blank range capabilities as well as more energy on the target and better terminal performance due to faster impact vel out to really long range. I guess right now we are talking about theoretical bullets and not any in particular but if you think about a 190g bullet compared to a 230g bullet the bigger one will not find an advantage until somewhere around 1200y. Not saying that the OP should not use the biggest heaviest available bullet but they become pretty specialized. Steve [/QUOTE]
