[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1998336, member: 68875"] Berger states "minimum" twist rate for the 144 LR Hyb and 156 Elite as "1:8" (or faster)". Not "optimum" twist rates, like their old boxes used to state. Great marketing ploy to sell more bullets for factory rifle twists. Go to the twist rate calculator, and depending on your inputs, it suggests minimum twist rates. In some cases, faster than what the box states. Sierra states 1:7.5" twist for the 150 SMK too. I would rather have a very stable bullet than marginally stable in flight if long shots present themselves. Plus, I have heard that faster twist increases terminal performance on game. Call Rich Sherman about brass availability. I can't answer that question for you. [/QUOTE]
