[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 2227754, member: 30671"] I can't say with any certainty either, but the trickle in from 3 continents, different media, and testers is favoring high velocities, and higher stability factors. The 1.5 minimum may be just that "minimum". Especially where thicker game, or game long enough to show a good track is evaluated. The .300 RUM I have in the pipeline is a Bartlein 1-9-1-8" slight gain twist. The 1-8" gives the 199 Hammer Hunter a little over a 2 stability factor which I'm beginning to believe is a better choice for HUNTING BULLETS 5 years ago I would have said set up for the 227 HH, these days I'm more likely to drop a weight than go up. Bench rest shooting has definitely influenced all aspects of the shooting game positively, but terminal performance may be one area it's been a detriment. Coupled with the often found twist not being as advertised, even from custom barrels, it may explain some of the drastically different experiences we see with different bullet brands. [/QUOTE]
