[QUOTE="dragon798, post: 2875286, member: 51909"] Exactly, 12 or faster. So as I said earlier 12 twist is probably the minimum. Saying the 178 needs a 12 twist is not true. It needs minimum of 12, and faster should be better. Furthermore, saying 1.3 or 1.4 is stable is also not true. It may shoot well, but only has marginal stability. And it doesn't matter what elevation, 1.4 SG is marginal at any elevation. Now a bullet that achieves 1.4 at sea level will likely be 1.6 at say 3000', and that is stable. [/QUOTE]
