[QUOTE="tim_w, post: 1444295, member: 11132"] The same thing is happening with the new line of SMKs. People are complaining about bad groups when on the ragged edge and at a little better vertical stringing. All using twist rates that do not fully maximize stability. But those using the actual full recommended twist that gets you around 2.0 seem to be doing just fine to include a fair number of F class shooters. I swear its like people can not read. A company recommends a twist rate and shooters immediately try a barrel with a twist rate 2" angle slower and give a bad review. Its one thing to try it for an experiment or because you know you are @ 5k ASL or pushing them way faster and have done the stability calculations. Think about it why would a bullet manf purposely reduce its bullet sales and audience by recommended a faster twist than needed especially when its a twist rate that is not commonly used for that caliber or any production guns?
