[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1511723, member: 85987"] It's what they suggest for twist rate. I have to use that where I shoot due to being less than a mile from the ocean for my local range. I'm sure If I shoot up at Mom's house I might get away with a 9tw. At 2000' in typical weather I shoot in It would still not be optimum if you use the Miller twist rule. Now if you wanted to shoot the huge hammers a 9 won't work for me at all. For example I have 95ish 150grn 6.5 mk's left because of this. In my 8tw savage At a velocity of 2890fps I could not get them to shoot point on. You could see the tear in the target at 100yds. I was told that the bto was the same as the 142's for a starting point. These bullets are really consistent in measuring them for 3 calibers. You just need to twist the crap out of them and your good to go. Hunting bullets I'd say no but the 183's (only bullet I've shot in proper twist) worked well on the coyote shot. Chest hit and tore a 8" or so gash out his belly removing his manhood completely. Maybe 3 wags of the tail if that after the shot. [/QUOTE]
