[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 2865437, member: 122164"] I would be all over a Nosler 150g LRAB if they will stabilize in a 10 twist. I shoot the LRAB in 6.5,7, and 30 calibers now. I went to the Nosler site, and did not see a requirement for a twist rate. Lou, you are correct on the .4-.5 bc at 400 yards. I shot a large sow last year at 550 yards with a 308 Win with 155g Berger vld hunting. We hunt on shooting lanes cut down through the woods, no telling what swirling winds are doing, especially the tree you are sitting in. As I upgrade, I want to hedge my bets. Higher BC means higher impact velocity, and I need to put an animal on the ground in its tracks, If they run off, I am searching through a Jungle for tracks. The Nosler 150g LRAB, pushed by R#26 would be worth building a rifle around. A call to Nosler to find out about the twist rate requirement of the 150g is in order, then just try and find some of the bullets IF they will stabilize in a 10 twist. A friend had really good luck this year with a 280 AI with 180g Hornady ELDM(BC .796 advertised) at 2830 fps, pole axed everything he hit on the spot. [/QUOTE]
