[QUOTE="Varminator 911, post: 413511, member: 9705"] yobuck: I think you're pulling my leg :). But just in case you're not I'd ask for the 505 Gibbs shooting 500-600 grain Barnes or Northfork flat nose solids in a 10 twist barrel. The flat part of the nose would be 65% of the diameter of the bullet. Those bullets or TSX types would fly straight thru the air in a 20 twist. But the guys shooting dangerous game want the bullet spinning much faster so it penetrates in a straight line. I know this is a lot different than long range shooting. But I do think it has implications for long range especially when shooting something like the 265 TTSX in 338. I'd like taking on a buffalo with that bullet. But I'd have it spinning much faster than we would for 1000 yd shooting. [/QUOTE]
