[QUOTE="Gord0, post: 1619025, member: 99696"] Yes, I know this. The OP is talking about faster twist than 10 in his 300wby. I could have went further in my explanation, but you also only took out one tiny portion of my post. I went with a 9 because I want to shoot the 215, and possibly the 180 hammer. Those require at least a 10, but start to get close to marginal at my elevation. I'll get a more consistent BC, and terminal performance with the faster twist. Most modern bullets are much more consistent than bullets if 20yrs ago. They'll generally take more rpm before bad stuff happens. Now if you take a standard 14twist 22-250 that's shooting a 40gr at 4300fps and make it a 7 twist for some 90gr vld's you're probably going to have a problem with the 40's. [/QUOTE]
