125gr Nosler Ballistic tip bullets for a 30-06

[STEWARTSMITH]

Slower twist (1 twist in 11" instead of 1 in 10") is better for lighter bullets. But both SST and BT are high quality bullets that do not generally suffer from "too tight" twist.

Tighter twist makes the bullets spin faster (no surprise there!) and if the bullet is poor quality i.e. air gaps or something that makes the geometric center of gravity differ from real center of gravity -> these imperfections get magnified and there's more variables in bullet flight resulting in worse accuracy.

Thanks for the advice jthyttin, much appreciated. I’ll let you know how I get on when I eventually get some rounds knocked up.
