[QUOTE="WisconSniper, post: 951031, member: 66629"] As far back as i can remember I've been told at twist rate is determined by bullet weight. However, im beginning to think that it is more relevant to the bearing surface of the bullet, not the weight. I understand that the weight is almost directly related to the length (duh) but to get the most accurate calculation of the twist rate desired im curious if this is in fact what the twist rate should be figured off of. Maybe I'm splitting hairs, but from a benchrest shooters perspective it may be helpful. Also, would it be better to have the slowest possible twist rate that will stabilize the bullet to minimize spin drift? ~WS [/QUOTE]
