[QUOTE="BradyT88, post: 2350167, member: 110304"] Over-spinning a bullet won't decrease accuracy. The issue with fast twist rates is that jacketed bullets will blow up if spun too fast. The thin jackets long range hunting bullets will blow up easier. That's an advantage to mono bullets. They are one piece and won't blow up. Butterbean is running 101gr Hammer bullets at 4400 fps from his 300 RUM. I don't know the twist rate but likely a 1:10, which has them spinning just over 300K RPM which will separate a lot of jacketed bullets. With your 1:8 twist you'll hit that 300K RPM mark at 3400 FPS. I have a 1:8 rifle that smoked a few Hornady Vmax when I broke 3400 FPS. [/QUOTE]
