[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 2827776, member: 7999"] The required twist for a given bullet is just a matter of how long it is for it's weight. Copper being 20% lighter than lead will always lead to same weight copper vs lead with similar form to the copper bullet needing more twist to be stable. The copper bullet will be 20% longer than the same weight lead core bullet. Just physics and you can't beat it. There is no reason to change barrels to work with the Hammers. You may have to step down in weight to be stable with your barrel twist. This is not necessarily a bad thing. You will likely have higher impact vel at any given range out to very long range. Resulting in better terminal performance. [/QUOTE]
