[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1861427, member: 69478"] Bullet lengths play a bigger role in what a twist will handle more than the weight in most cases. For a 1-11 twist 30-06, it will handle everything from 150gr up to most 190gr bullets. At higher altitudes and certain bullets, you may be able to shoot 200+ grain bullets. But to stay safe, I wouldn’t plan on anything heavier than a 190gr cup and core bullet. [/QUOTE]
