Twist rate
Hello everyone,
I just joined in hopes of learning some things about the .300 Whisper cartridge. I recently ordered a 7.62 Phantom suppressor from YHM. The reason is that I have always wanted to build a bolt action in .300 Whisper and use a suppressor. The can came in to my dealer and I'm just about to start the form 4 wait. The first thing I really need to know is what the twist rate must be in order to stabilize this bullet. I have heard anything slower than 1 in 8" will not stabilize a subsonic bullet this heavy with the result of possible baffle strikes. Someone else told me bullet stabilization is dependant on length of bullet relative to length of barrel. What is the truth? Thanks for your help.
