twist

[Spook]

Anyone here not stabilizing 240's with an 8 twist?

Spook: I have loaded a bunch of 240SMk's to try this weekend. I'll let you know what happens. I have been getting good groups with 220SMK and 190 btsp by hornady...(nosler200 gr balistic tips keep keyholing though) anyway 1x8 is supposed to be the key!

The one you built me has shot more 240 SMK's than all others, no problems. I have shot it at extended ranges and it stays stabilized out past 300 yards.

squirrel, what twist was tumbling the noslers?

[i8asquirrel]

my Ar has 1x10 and I sorta expected it to tumble ( even though it shoots 1moa with 190 btsp) but to my suprise my bolt with a 1x8 schillen was full keyhole at 100 yds with Nosler ballistic tips... but it shoots 220 smk's just fine...

squirrel, whats the difference in length between the Nos and SMK?

My 1 in 8 Shilen shoots 240 MK's true out to 300 yards or so, but it really likes 208 A-Max's.
