[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 846644, member: 13632"] If your bullets are just a little wobbly from a slow twist rate you may get along with them fine, but sometimes ramping them up your just accelerating the wobble and they start shot gunning, faster RPM can just accentuate a problem that is there it can also keep them happy for more range. Being below 3000 fps with that barrel is about 200-250 fps slower than where it should shoot them, in my barrels I was good with a 140 Berger and a 150 Ballistic tip but going to a more aggressive 150 Berger and they got very picky and I'm willing to bet the ALR is more aggressive in design than that particular Berger, I would not expect them to work well in my Savage 1-11 varmint barrel but in my 1-10 twist barrels I would expect them to shoot very well. Once my 1-11 barrels got past about 1200 rounds they absolutely sprayed even the 140 Berger, all holes were straight and true just went from snug little groups to 12+ inches but the Ballistic tips are still rocking it past 1600 rounds though they've slowed down to about 3150 fps.
