[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 1857508, member: 10429"] I found a video by Brian Litz on youtube. Somewhat paraphrasing the manner; before, the industry thought bullets were fully stable at a 1.4ish stabilization factor but with the advancements in the way bullets are tested and applying a good standard to achieve maximum consistent BC's AB labs found at 1.5 stabilization factor this fully stabilizes the bullet which also means you need a faster twist to achieve this type of stabilization or the right bullet for the barrel twist. This also will give the best results through transonic flight. So testing and getting all the data back we now have new twist rates recommendations and new BC numbers. The hardest thing the future is getting the rifle industry to change there way of thinking and offer faster twist barrels in there factory options. A few companies have somewhat done this already but its only a few. Still would like Remington to see the light. For me in the future I will look at which bullets I want to shoot/reload and look at the barrel twist on a rifle before buying. [/QUOTE]
