[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 1509014, member: 5412"] Twist rate to stabilize the bullet would be the main issue I'm thinking if you went to the .30 cal, and my thinking was confirmed by reading one of the links. It seems you have to decide which gun you want to shoot, and then select a particular bullet to be compatabile with the twist. I copied this statment from their website: [B]We offer a variety of weights to reflect the twist of rifling in the barrel. The blackpowder hunter can purchase rifles with twists of 1-66",1-48", 1-38", 1-32", 1-28", 1-26", 1-24" and 1-20". Obviously, a bullet that is ideal for a 1-38" twist will not be stabilized by a 1-48" twist and will not be optimum for a 1-24" twist. That is why we, and we alone, offer bullets in all weights from 175 grains to 535 grains. Due to their unique design, all weights in a given model will expand to the same proportions but only one weight will give absolute accuracy in each specific rifle.[/B] I'll certainly be interested if you do go this way. Never get rid of the Savage, but I know some other folks that are having some accuracy problems with their MZ's, that may benefit by going this way. [/QUOTE]
