[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 482035, member: 24624"] The number of full rotations has far less to do with stabilization than the rate of twist. Choose the right twist for your bullet, and then choose the right length barrel for the type of shooting and/or velocity you want to achieve. 1 in 10" should stabilize a 145gr 7mm bullet just fine. The 1 in 9" will stabilize the 145 plus do a better job with heavier bullets. The shorter barrel should be adequate for velocity out of a 7mm-08. [/QUOTE]
