Trying to find a 416 VLD bullet that can be used for hunting and suitable for 1:11 twist. Lead (Hornady) is probably going to be too heavy so copper or brass. Cartridge LOA is not an issue. Anybody have any ideas? If anybody on the board manufactures such a beast then this is your chance to chime in as well.

I would like to see the answer because the only VLD bullets I could find are solid brass.
Cheers.

If I understand you correctly, you are looking for a .416 Cal bullet lighter than Hornady's A-Tip 500? SwampLord )Precision Refiled Ordnance) shot the 500g in various .416 wildcats. Also 400g Swift A Frame.
Yep, that would help. Also, what's the max range?

True, if he's shooting a 1:11, he's going to have to run a spin stability calc to make sure he can stabilize it..416 450gr SINGLE FEED Lazer- Tipped Hollow Point - 50ct

Otherwise, he may as well not waste the primers to try it.
OP, Berger has a nice spin stability calculator.

Each bullet cutting edge makes gives the twist required in the technical notes.
This one takes a 13 twist. OP's 11 is good to go
Twist Rate Stability Calculator
Our newly updated Twist Rate Stability Calculator not only tells you what your SG is, but it also lets you know if you are reaching your optimized BC.

Bullet stability depends on velocity, check out the calculator and you can kind of see how the equation works.
If your velocity is low, you still won't achieve optimum stability.
Correct. 500g is too heavy.
Looking to go at least 1000 yds.
Will have to dig out the data velocity.
Without the cartridge being loaded and rifle it is in to include barrel length and what form of animal you are hunting and at what ranges everything is conjecture. Be more specific please.

Twist rate is the overwhelming factor for bullet stability. Velocity changes the stability very little.
