Is there a calculation for determine what an optimal bullet weight is for a given bore size/speed/twist? I’m going to be working up new loads for several guns in the near future and with that I want to start off with something that is most likely to give me good results. I will be loading 223ai, pointy 30-30 (single shot) and .270 win. And out of curiosity I was trying to see what would logically be a good starting point for those. I know that throat erosion in the .270 is forcing me away from the 130gr I want to use so it looks like 150s loaded to magazine length are in my future.
