[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2829254, member: 27307"] Some do, some don't. The rule of thumb handed down from the Benchrest shooters is to use the slowest twist rate available which stabilizes the bullet of choice. This results in the best overall accuracy. However... There will be a substantial number of shooters who have differing opinions on how stability is defined so they express their opinions as if they are exactingly correct albeit with differing answers. Watch and see... The other problem that occurs is what if your rifle doesn't like that long, heavy bullet and you've committed to the faster twist rate but you find that the RPMs might be a little too fast for those lighter, shorter bullets. Now what? This road to finding the best bullets, twist rates, seating depths and powder selection is a narrow, twisty path which can become complicated. Don't jump to conclusions which aren't supported by good research. Enjoy the search! :) [/QUOTE]
