[QUOTE="Randy Tidwell, post: 1619253, member: 109136"] Of course any change to a bullets weight, shape, lenght is going to affect its stability, but I stand by bullet length has allot more affect than weight. Example, a 105 grain 6mm VLD bullet (long) needs a much faster twist than a 100 Spitzer. Same applies to Copper vs Lead Core, your typical copper 180 grain bullet is much longer than a 180 lead core. The coppers shoot much better with the faster twist. Even being the same weight. I have a 257AI that will not stablize a 100 grain Barnes, yet the 25 Souper with a 9 twist bullet does. The 257 AI shoots the 100 grain Balistic tips great. Much shorter bullet. So I contend, longer the bullet, the faster it needs to spin. Has very little to do with weight. JMHO [/QUOTE]
