[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1861448, member: 69478"] Yes you’re right. Lead free bullets are longer compared to the equal weight cup and core bullet. A 1-11 twist will work with a lead core 190gr but will probably only stabilize a 168gr or maybe 175gr solid copper bullet. I have minimal experience with lead free bullets, but I do know they are longer than traditional bullets and will require a faster twist rate for their weight compared to lead core bullets. [/QUOTE]
