[QUOTE="Quick Karl, post: 135912, member: 7237"] <font color="blue">I have a 300 WM with a Douglas Premium XX Air-Gauged barrel with a 1/10 twist – intending to shoot 200g bullets. A close friend suggests that 180g bullets are the ‘optimum’ 30-caliber bullet (a subjective opinion to say the least). My question is, will the faster 1/10 twist of my barrel degrade the accuracy of a 180g bullet by spinning it ‘too fast’. If so, what is the logic behind that? Looking forward to some interesting answers.</font> [/QUOTE]
