[QUOTE="Slick8, post: 2493388, member: 52585"] This is my thought as well. I'm dipping my toe into the hammers with a 10 twist 30 nosler. Hammer recommends 10 as a minimum and the rifle has many kills with 230 bergers which also require a 10 twist. The website actually states the 196 was designed for 10 twist barrels. I typically set my minimum velocity threshold at 2000 for reliable expansion and may go with 2200 for the hammers. That would mean about 700 yards at 8000 feet which is an average for elk country.
