[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1170156, member: 13833"] Bearing surface, in and of itself, has little to do with twist needed. It is a primarily a function of length in relation to diameter but how the weight is distributed is also a key factor. Ex: a 215 Berger Hybrid is a long bullet that can get away with less twist than normal because approx. .4" of the nose cavity is hollow (no lead). Also, the elevation you are hunting (shooting) at affects the twist rate needed considerably......Rich [/QUOTE]
