[QUOTE="Randy Tidwell, post: 1619610, member: 109136"] Feenix, I agree, can't ignore the weight. How ever, two bullets of the same diameter and weight that are different lengths will perform better with different twists. Compare a 180 grain 30 cal round nose, Spitzer, VLD, for optimum stability you different twist rates. The bullet weight is only 10-20% of the equation. Just a guess on the %. I understand why everyone relates it to weight, it's easier than keeping track of bullet length. I had a long discussion/debate with Barnes at the Shot Show a few years back about this. They finally conceded that their bullets benefited from a faster twist for the same weight lead core bullet. JMHO PS: OP, sorry we kind of high jacked your post., just order a 10 twist you will be fine. [/QUOTE]
