[QUOTE="stomp442, post: 862807, member: 70571"] I'm right at 3000' elevation here. Keep in mind also that stability increases with distance as the rate of spin decreases at a slower rate than the velocity of the bullet. So a bullet fired from a 1:9 twist may be marginal at the muzzle its more than enough at 200 yards. I think Bryan litz lists the SG of the 140 at 1.3 in a 9 twist with 1.4 being optimal but anything over 1 meaning the bullet should stabilize. I'm just going from memory on those numbers so don't hold me to that. Anyways all I'm saying is don't write off the heavy 140s until you try them. [/QUOTE]
