[QUOTE="Randy Tidwell, post: 1617755, member: 109136"] You are correct Feenix, but the actual weight has noting to do with the it, it is the length of the bullet. That is why most shooter talk about twist rate being relative to bullet weight. Conventional bullets get longer as they get heavier. If you made a long bullet with a lighter core material, it would still need the faster twist. I know I am picking fly poop out of pepper, but when I am looking at twist rate, I am looking at bullet length options, not weight. JMHO [/QUOTE]
