[QUOTE="BryanLitz, post: 1087646, member: 7848"] Solid bullets are longer for the same weight as a conventional lead core bullet. In general, longer bullets need faster twist to stabilize. Having said that, if you're in the 'Marginal' stability zone, that doesn't mean your groups or accuracy will suffer, but the bullet will fly with less BC than it would have if fully stabilized. As has been stated above, if your limit is 300 yards, the slight reduction in BC won't hurt you very much; you probably won't notice it. Take care, -Bryan [/QUOTE]
