[QUOTE="Gord0, post: 1370270, member: 99696"] I don't have a 14 twist or I gladly would. It's not the bullet weight, but the length that matters. Your 55gr Sierra 1365 has a length of .724" which will be marginally stable at 500'asl out of your 14 twist. You lose some BC but it should fly just fine. You probably wouldn't think of running a 64gr Berger in a 14. It has a length of .815". A 50gr Barnes varmint grenade might sound good, but it has a length of .855". There's complaints everywhere of the Barnes making shotgun patterns. The 52gr amax is a fairly long bullet for it's weight and comes in at .8" The 53gr vmax is a very long bullet for it's weight at .836". A 12 twist gets you right on the edge of marginal stability with the 53. Throw in a little elevation and it'll fly, and even accurately, but with some BC loss. [/QUOTE]
