[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2938006, member: 109862"] This ^^^^^ An extreme example perhaps, but Hawk makes a 250 grain 30 cal round nose…it is as blunt as can be. It’s stable in a 10 twist. Despite being 50 grains lighter, the newer 200 grain matchking (there is an older design too) is listed as needing a 1:9. It is LOOOOOOOONG, like a lawn dart, and has very little bearing surface as well. Heck the 225 hornady eld m is just fine in a 10 twist, and it’s actually about the same length and heavier. But has a lot of bearing surface. [/QUOTE]
