[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1548717, member: 27307"] I think that this is the common sense approach since you start in the area of stability at the lower elevation and then increase your probability (sg) as you go higher in elevation. It's a no fail process. The only concern is bullet construction. With the Hammer solids, you are concerned with impact velocity for performance. Cup and core bullets also but can be adversely affected by more twist than necessary, especially with thinner jackets, while stability is affected with less twist at any altitude, temperature or velocity. This is one of my favorite reference works about bullets: [URL]http://ffden-2.phys.uaf.edu/212fall2001_Web_projects/Isaac%20Rowland/Ballistics/Bulletflight/index.htm[/URL] It can be a little daunting at first glance but read a little and sleep on it. Then read some more. Pretty soon all sorts of lights start to come on. Regards. [/QUOTE]
