[QUOTE="strikezone37, post: 746697, member: 59346"] I have questions about bullet stabilization and barrel length. In a .300 win mag 180 or 200 bullet, what would be an ideal twist rate for a 26 inch barrel? Lets just say that a 1/10 will stabilize them out of a 26" barrel (3000fps), will it do the same in a 24 or do you need a 1/9? I have looked at many of the Remington factory guns and most (in .300 win) have a 1/10 twist in a 26" and a 24", even the shorter barrels like a 700P (20-22) still have a 1/10. Is the accuracy of these guns with the shorter barrels not nearly as good or am I missing something? Can I get a 24" barrel gun (1/10) and still get the velocity and bullet stabilization to shoot 500-1000 yards? Thanks from fairly confused [/QUOTE]
