I have a brand new Savage Model 12FV with 1 in 9.25" twist. I've only fired 85gr Sierra SP and 75gr Hornady HP so far. I think these will be fine shooting bullets once I fine tune the loads and find the sweet spots.
I'll work toward the heavier and lighter ends of the bullet spectrum. I have some 100gr Hornady SP loaded but haven't shot them yet. I understand that the faster twist rates are to stabilize the longer (and heavier) bullets. Curious to see if the 1 in 9.25 twist will stabilize the Sierra 107gr HPBT MatchKing.
Maybe I am thinking wrong. I thought the 1 in 9-9.25 would stabalize the lighter bullets better than the 1 in 10. Should I be going towards the 1 in 12 for the lighter bullets instead?
Modern 1-in-9 1/8" twist makes it better. Remington's .244 1-in-12" twist tossed away its deer hunting prowess, in exchange for great varmint light fare. Yea, I know, that's old news. 100 grain Speer Grand Slam .243 bullets are what makes the .243 Winchester so perfect for deer/hog hunting. 100 grain Nosler Partition bullets represent no wannabees also. New to the scene are 90 grain bonded Swift Scirocco IIs designed for 300 yard carnage. Apparently 10 grains of weight is not as important as .419 BC bullet design. I wonder what would transpire with a 100 grain bonded Scirocco III? cliffy
As far as I know, faster twist rates are necessary to stabilize heavier bullets, but in general don't cause problems with lighter bullets. So, if you want to be able to shoot both, choose a faster twist rate.
