[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 2724545, member: 64108"] Look at the bullet manufacturers specs for that bullet as it will have the required twist rate. For instance I took the Federal Premium with 77 grain MatchKing from Midway. Then look up the Matchking on Sierra's site and it will tell you it needs an 8 twist barrel(sometimes you can get away with a slower twist if you are at a higher elevation). As stated stability for shooting targets and shooting game are not the same, you will want more than the minimum for game so the bullets will perform correctly.
