| What is the max grain for 1/10 twist for 6.8? |
|
It has more to do with the bullet length than the weight.
Although a 1:10 twist will stabilize a heavy long bullet, it is not recommended for shooting SSA combat loads. IE you can get more power with an 85-110 gr barnes or other bullet in a 1:12 twist improved cyl barrel, combat load than you can with a heavy bullet reduce load out of a 1:10 twist. A 1:11 and I think a 1:12 will stabilize a 130 gr bullet. If you run it on greenhill, which IMO is very conservative, I believe you could stabilize a 150 grain non ballistic tip bullet IN A 1:10 twist. I also think a 165 grain hawk round tip would stabilize. |
