Simple Question (I hope) 11" twist in 30-06, 22" barrel -- best for light or heavy bullets?

[QUOTE="Jon Bischof, post: 1861414, member: 879"] Tikka and Sauer both have 1:11" Twist for 30-06. Does this favor lighter (150-165) or heavier (180-220) bullets? Just don't want to end up with a 30-06 that only shoots light bullets well. I guess I would be happy if it shot 165-180 in tight little groups. But the glory of the 30-06 is versatility for hunting medium to large game with lighter to heavier bullets. If it doesn't do that without losing a lot of accuracy, that really takes the shine off of the cartridge for me. Could be I'm concerned about nothing, but I would like to hear from you folks that can tell what I might expect realistically from an 11" Twist. [/QUOTE]
