[QUOTE="snox801, post: 1028881, member: 54383"] So I've had two semi custom rifles built with different smiths. Both where told that unwound only be shooting the heaviest bullets for caliber. So got my 257 Roy back with a 1/10 twist seems to do the job with 115 noslers. But looking at Berger its marginal for stability. Second I had a 6x45 built on a Howa action. Thought I would leave it to the smith to make the correct call. I stated I would only be shooting 95gr bullets. Nothing lower. Also got this back with a 1/10 twist. Looks like I should have gone with maybe a 1/8. Shooting just over moa with some load work. I'm sure I can get it dialed in but can't figure why they would use this twist rate. Is bergers calculator really airing on the side of caution. Or should I just start requesting the twist rate I feel would be best. Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
