[QUOTE="Buzzgun, post: 3094088, member: 4715"] Dennis Interesting!! Thanks for posting the article, I appreciate the discussion! 1) [SIZE=4]how do other brands/types of 55 grain bullets shoot in your 1 in 8" 243 wssm? Do other 55 grain bullets shoot "minute of pie plate", or is it only the Nosler?? (I have several 1 in 8" twist .223 AR barrels and have no problem shooting 55 grain bullets........)[/SIZE] [SIZE=4]2)interesting article, who wrote it?? Link??[/SIZE] 3) from reading it, what I get is that increased rotational velocity exacerbates bullet defects and dispersion of bullets that do not enter the barrel concentric to the bore, neither of which are actually caused by increased twist rate. From your post: "[SIZE=4]Some folks believe that you can "overstabilize" a bullet, and therefore reduce accuracy. [B]For all practical purposes, there is no such thing as overstabilization[/B], [B]so generally faster twist doesn’t hurt accuracy with lighter bullets...[/B][/SIZE] Except in reality it does, for three reasons: [B]unbalanced aerodynamic effects[/B], [B]out of balance bullets[/B], and [B]structural failure due to overspin[/B]." Notice that all of these are problems with the bullet, not the rate of twist......spinning an out of balance bullet faster makes it shoot worse......well, yeah!:yikes2: [/QUOTE]
