[QUOTE="GF300, post: 1376367, member: 103924"] To start off I am new to this forum so this topic may have been covered elsewhere and I haven't realized it yet but I have a Christensen Arms Ridgeline in 300 Win. Mag. and I am currently running 200gr. Hornady ELD-X's (1.53" long; B.C. of .597/.626) out of it however I am wanting to switch to the 212gr. ELD-X (1.60" long; B.C. of .673) because the jump in B.C. would be worth the minimal loss in velocity. I have tried using two stability calculators and am getting different results though and I don't know which to trust. If I use the Berger Stability Calculator it informs me that the 1:10" twist is not enough to stabilize the 212gr. ELD-X saying that it could be accurate but I would lose some value in the B.C. which wouldn't make the switch worth it. However if I use JBM Ballistics stability calculator it informs me that the 1:10" twist is plenty enough to stabilize the 212gr ELD-X. So if any of you have experience with the 212gr ELD-X in a 300 Win. Mag. or know which calculator I should base a decision off of any advice would be appreciated? [/QUOTE]
