[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 2622435, member: 103303"] Not a bad rule of thumb, but if you go by density, it should be 15%. Twist rate really throws a wrench into things though - LENGTH is the driving factor in gyroscopic stability, not weight. It actually comes down to the length of the bullet, but that is not a common specification, so most people just use a similar rule of thumb to what you suggest. I think there are multiple reasons to use lighter for caliber monos, though. Terminal performance just gets better and better the faster I shoot them! [/QUOTE]
