[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 1202001, member: 64108"] I am wondering at what point will one be required to go to a 7 twist with the heavier bullets. I was shooting the Cutting Edge 140's in 6.5x284 8 twist but they wouldn't stabilize so I had to drop down to a 130. CE initially claimed an 8 would work but changed it to 7.5(copper requires a faster twist than an equal weight lead bullet). At some point a bullet make must realize that a factory barrel won't stabilize a heavy bullets and he will only be making it for customs which is a much smaller crowd. The Berger 7mm 195 grain for example, definitely worth going custom. [/QUOTE]
