[QUOTE="John Klingenberg, post: 1621407, member: 107749"] Way too slow twist. Pick a 95-100 grain .224 and look at the length of that bullet. If you put the numbers into any app for twist stability you'll see that for 95 to 100 grainers you'll be in the 7 or 6.5 twist territory. 8 would be marginal to unstable depending on its length for 95s. 8 wont stabilize any 100 grain on the market. Sierra even labels the box on their 100gr for 6.5 or faster twist only. I'm working with an 8 twist now...it wont do 100s at all, as in key holes at 100yds. I'm up to 88s but I'm skeptical that it would stabilize a 95. [/QUOTE]
