[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1218950, member: 7999"] It is possible to shoot marginally stabilized bullets with great accuracy. With that said, marginal stability can have detrimental effects on terminal performance and will degrade the bc of the bullet. I would say that your initial gut feeling of the 168g is probably correct. In our mono pure copper bullets it would be a 152g projectile for full stabilization. If you are at high elevations you can get some help with stability. Also when you go and look at the stability calculator pay attention to the temp settings. Temp plays a big part in stability. So I would recommend inputting the lowest temp that you think you may encounter. Good luck, Steve [/QUOTE]
