Foxwhistler88 Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 Just wondering if anyone can help me out! I've got a Sako75 in 6mm PPC with a 1-12 twist, and I've managed to work up quite a nice load with 58gr V-max. The question is if anyone can tell me what weight bullet I could stabilise with this twist rate! I'd really like to try something heavier! Thanks.

The Gun Pimp Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 Most 6PPC benchrest rifles have a 1 in 13 to 1 in 15 twist with 1 in 14 being preferred by most. This will stabilise up to 68 grain FB bullets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeman Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 Berger website shows the 80g FB Varmint bullet stabilised by a 1:12 twist. Stabilisation is more dependent on bullet length than weight so that must be a stubby little number. Most bullet manufacturers websites will list the recommended twist rates for each bullet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
