[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1619395, member: 14204"] The weight and length are directly proportional (reduction in length = reduction in weight, increase in length = increase in weight). In your example, you are restricted (fixed) to 6MM diameter of the bullet so the only way for a bullet increase in weight is an increase in length. Below is another example to keep it with the same bullet manufacturer and design (information extracted from Berger), also not sure which 100 spitzer bullet you are referencing ... [ATTACH=full]131114[/ATTACH] SOURCES: [URL]https://bergerbullets.com/product/6-mm-95-gr-vld-hunting/[/URL] [URL]https://bergerbullets.com/product/6-mm-105-gr-vld-hunting/[/URL] To increase the weight from 95 to 105 grain, length has to be increased by .093". BTW, I am not disputing that the longer the bullet, the faster the twist requirement for stabilization but you cannot ignore the bullet weight and length relationship that exist. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
