[QUOTE="mcdil, post: 2617317, member: 112571"] Okay, I gotcha now. We will always be lighter than all our competition for relative twist rates, even the Bulldozer is no exception. Some of that is due to our heavily contoured design, and some of that is due to our desire to not push stabilization boundaries. While the 102gr as a 1:8" twist does have to work at Grendell velocities, which gives up a little potential design weight (but not much) for the likes of the PRC, it will be a great all around performer in the Creedmoor and PRC. It's BC is stout for what it is, and the velocity will be very high. Only when comparing setups for dedicated long range, do the cup and core bullets designed to maximize 1:8" twist barrels start to show an advantage specifically in that category only. Having said all that, we definitely made note of Browning's use of 1:7" twist barrels on all their various long range versions in both Creedmoor and PRC. We haven't heard too many requests for that particular offering though. That's surprised us a bit. That particular bullet, of which we also have fully designed, doesn't give up anything in long range performance. [/QUOTE]
