[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1572510, member: 7999"] When Nemo was developing their long range 300wm they discovered that they had better long range accuracy with an 8 twist than with a 10 twist. They were running 215 Bergers. Poorly constructed cup and core bullets may suffer from the faster twist. Most of today's bullets are much better constructed than even just 10 years ago. I don't think over stabilization is near the issue that it once was. 10" twist will not handle All the bullets currently avail. The 200g class and bigger lead free bullets will not work well in a 10" twist. I see no down side to the 8" twist. [/QUOTE]
