[QUOTE="Dialing Long Distance, post: 1375106, member: 86692"] I am curious, is there an argument for spinning a bullet too fast? Like my Remington model 700 chambered in 243, I believe that has a twist of 1:9.5, I have found that burger 105gr VLD’s do not shoot out of this rifle. I understand those bullets were never even thought of when the rifle was manufactured, I understand it was manufactured with bullets closer to 80 grains of weight in mind. Does a 1:8 twist over stabilize a bullet that is light in weight like though? Is there such a thing as “over stabilizing”? [/QUOTE]
