g'day all,
ive just been on the sierra website looking for 30 cal projys, and it seems that the side note they had on the 210gr and 240gr matchkings about minimum twist rates is gone. does anyone know if this is because they have been revised and they have realised these bullets no longer require the faster rates to be stable?
i have a 1 in 12 twist and would love to use the higher bc 240gr or at least the 210gr
happy shooting

forget that, must have been a glitch in my internet, when i retried it showed up!
on another note however, have they put a limit on the twist rate due to the expected mv being very low out of say, a 308win or similar, whereas if the mv was much higher, in the region of 2800 to 3000 fps would the increased rpm be enough to stabilise the heavier and longer bullets?
any thoughts would be much appreciated
happy shooting

From reading alot of the FTR stuff overseas, 1:12 you can use up to about a 175gr-185gr pill
It surprised me too Brad. I wrote to them and asked as I feared my 1:10s that I shoot the 208A-Max and 210 Sierra MK in mightn't be fast enough. The 225 is longer than both of those but that was their reply. Haven't found time to do any exerimenting myself.
