26 nosler twist rate

[6.5notcreedmore]

I have a 26 nosler 26” barrel w/ 1-8 twist. I found some 153.5 gr bullets that say they require 1-7.5 twist or faster. Will they be okay in the 26 nosler with a slower twist because of the increased velocity or should I use lighter bullets?

They should be just fine.

Probably be fine. You can tweak the settings in the calculator, but looks like if you are over 900' elevation and 3000fps, the calculator will say its stable. Bump either of those variables up and it just gets better.
