[QUOTE="SO92, post: 1411886, member: 100430"] This is a great thread and disappointing at the same time to hear some of the issues with the 195. I have a SG from 1.67 - 2.5 depending on altitude out of my 28 with a 1/8 twist tube. This appears to be relatively stable according to berger’s chart and i guess i never was concerned about it until now. Can a bullet be considered stable with the above SG’s and still be oscilating? I assumed this was the case when a bullet is marginally stable but not when numbers exceeded 1.6. Im not a ballistician so i’m just trying to understand the physics. I built this gun for elk only and retired my 340 weatherby. Now im wondering if its worth the risk to use the 195’s. My plan was to shoot high shoulder, maybe thats a mistake. Not afraid of trying new bullets in my rig but load is developed/proofed and the clock is ticking on my barrel demise. Do i switch bullets and start over? [/QUOTE]
