[QUOTE="4bycamper, post: 372061, member: 17128"] According to theory, you can get higher velocities with a looser twist but not much in the larger calibers. This is often a question for the .22 calibers where the twists can go from 14 to 7.5 . My 300 WM with a 10 twist would push a 165 SGK to 3300 fps hot loaded with 77+ grains of RL 22. (Please approach this in 1/2 grain steps steps.) :D I don't believe an 11 twist would have done much for me. I would rather have the tighter twist to stabilize the heavier VLD bullets at long range. Good Shooting [/QUOTE]
