[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2862388, member: 91783"] It depends a lot on bullet design, jacket thickness and speed with factory offerings you should be just fine. If you were hand loading your own and got a thin jacketed bullet than ran it pretty fast near the pressure limits of your components, then you might see some problems with fast twist rates and posable bullet failure. 40 years or so ago I saw problems with slow twist rates and heaver for diameter bullets not stabilizing, and thin jacked bullets with light weights for diameter bullets coming a part in flight with fast twist rates. In the end most of the now offered factory loading will work well in either the slower or faster twist rates offered it's a matter of finding the factory offerings that your particular rifle likes the best so buying in bulk may not be your best choice at first till you find your rifles choice of ammo. Just my thoughts perhaps they will be of some use for you. [/QUOTE]
