[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1815418, member: 13833"] The length of the bullet has more to do with twist rate than the weight and thats why the monolithic bullets (usually solid copper allow, not copper plus lead) require more twist. Copper is less dense therefore has to be longer to reach the same weight. If you plan on shooting monos that are heavy, you may want the 7 but a 7 twist can be hard on the jackets of some cup and core bullets. I would talk to Steve at Hammer about the weights you want to run and dont buy an 8 twist unless you need it. [/QUOTE]
