[QUOTE="drpbroun5, post: 1070479, member: 6893"] How do I tell for certain if a bullet is stable or not? I am starting to work up a load for my 300 Win Mag. It has a fairly slow twist at 1 in 10 3/4". I'm told by the custom rifle maker that it will stablize a bullet up to and including a 215gr Berger. I know Bryan Litz's recommendation. I have loaded one ladder test done at 100 yards with H1000 from 75.0gr to 80.5gr in 0.5 increments with one round per charge. All of the holes in the target at 100 yards were round I only found one node that was +/-0.5gr. Since all of them were round, I think that the bullet is stable inspite of it being a marginal twist rate. Am I thinking correctly? I greatly appreciate your thoughts. Thank you. Paul [/QUOTE]
