[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 463831, member: 25383"] *in a 14 twist barrel the v-max seems to be about right for it's twist. But on the otherhand a 50 grain bullet from Nosler will work as well. Most all 60 grain bullets are out of the equation as they are too long for the slower twist. *in a 12 twist barrel the perfect bullet seems to be a Sierra #1365 (a lot of folks have came to this conclusion as well). But the 55 grain Hornaday and Nosler BT works very well. The faster twist will do some 60 grain bullets to a certain extent; with the 60 grain Partition being one of the best. The 60 grain Hornaday will work as well, but not quite as well as the Nosler due to a lower B/C on the Nosler. Yet the 12 twist will also do 45 and 50 grain bullets just fine. * a nine twist should do about anything, but groups will open up with lighter weight bullets due to over stabalization. If I were using a nine twist barrel, I'd be using 60 grain and longer bullets gary [/QUOTE]
