[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1373581, member: 14204"] Altitude is your friend when it comes to SG. You can get away with bullet stabilization issues at your altitude, go to [URL]http://www.bergerbullets.com/twist-rate-calculator/[/URL] and plug in your numbers and you'll see what I mean. I have a 1:10" in my 300 WSM and I am pushing the 215 Berger at 2750 FPS. At my altitude of 3300, SG = 1.62, if I have a 1:11" SG = 1.34 (marginal). At your altitude of 8-9K with the same velocity of 2750 FPS out of your rifle, SG = 1.59 and 1.66 respectively. My SAKO M995 in .300 WM is also 1:11"; it harvested a MT bull elk at 931 yards with 190 Berger VLD in 2013. [/QUOTE]
