[QUOTE="GLTaylor, post: 2322377, member: 111593"] In all of the testing so far, it seems Steve's recommendations for twist should be mimimum. Faster than required is even better. Your rifle may shoot a bullet with slightly lower than recommended twist - but barrels aren't always actually twisted as marked. Barrels vary. Also, we are finding that the traditional stability rating of 1.5 for good bullet flight should be considered minimum for good terminal (impact) stability. A stability rating of 2 (or more) will give far better performance and penetration on animals. [/QUOTE]
