Found this in a thread last year from a BPI rep. "A fast twist is a 1 in 18 to a 1 in a 24. The fast twist guns shoot heavy bullet’s better than say a 1 in 28 twist which is the industry’s standard. My experience has shown slow twist guns like 225,250 and 275 work best in a 1 in 28 and fast twist guns like 275,300 and 350 bullets better."
Does anyone find this is true? I'm setting up my Accura MR-X 50 cal (1 in 28) for an elk hunt in CO. I'm using Triple 7, as I can't find 209. So far 100 grains triple 7 and 340 grain Hornady Bore Driver ELD-X are shooting > 0.5 inch groups at 50 yards. Haven't tried 100 yards yet. I plan on zeroing at 100.
I have plenty of time to play. Anyone had any better luck with lighter bullets? Anyone using 110 to 120 grain Triple 7?????
