[QUOTE="Colt45_13, post: 2204406, member: 108516"] elkaholic, Thank you for your thoughts. What are the consequences (if any) of "excessively stabilizing" bullets? Let me explain. I started this conversation because I thought "one day" I might want to take this rig pronghorn hunting and shoot 120+ grain bullets, so I might go with an 8 twist as you mentioned. If I go 8 twist and shoot a box of 75 grain varmint rounds on a coyote hunt, will the bullet explode vs penetrate? I've heard this before and I have no idea if it is true of not. Maybe this question is stupid, but I've never built or owned a rifle like this that I hope to use such a wide range of bullets, most of the time my rifles are very purpose built. Thanks, CTL [/QUOTE]
