[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1266877, member: 7999"] We have one already that is designed for 9.5" twist at sea level. We call it the Heavy Hammer and it came in at 104g. It is 1.145" compared to the Target Hammer at 1.138". The Target Hammer actually needs 9.75" twist to get to 1.5sg at sea level. I really am not too worried about stability in the target bullet since it does not have much of a job after impact. The 104g Heavy Hammer we designed for 257 Weatherby. Sent a bunch to family in MS for their deer season last month. Bullet performed very well. It still amazes me how the 25cal got saddled with such a slow twist. I have checked stability on many other 25cal bullets and most of them are quite marginal. So if you have a bit of elevation the 104g Heavy Hammer will probably work well in your 10" twist. 3300fps in a 25-06 should be achievable. Steve [/QUOTE]
