[QUOTE="65WSM, post: 2611303, member: 9551"] The suggestions of heavy (and therefore long) for caliber bullets ignore what the barrel can twist into stable flight. You might not see this at a hundred yard sight in but back up to 300 yards and you could be seeing tumbling bullets. Weatherby barrels, have a variety of twists from different decades. It is best to measure yourself the actual twist with a cleaning rod. Tumbling bullets might prove unreliable. It could be that a 160 gr bullet, that flies stable, could penetrate and mushroom fatally. Remember the advice, don't choose a bullet based on ideal conditions but choose a bullet based on what can go wrong. John Nosler, started Nosler bullets, after a moose hunt with Winchester factory ammunition that did not expand and penitrate fatally. 300 Win Magnum, if memory serves me. [/QUOTE]
