My last three fast-twist barrels shot light bullets very well, and velocities were where they were supposed to be.
An 8T 22-250AI Benchmark was set up for 75 A-Maxes, but did fine with 40 grain V-Maxes and B Tips.
An 8T 6mm Rem Krieger set up for 105 Hdy A-Maxes was a one-holer with 58 Hdy's at over 4000 fps.
And my latest 8T 243AI MacLennan on a 84M does the same with 105s and 58s.
Earlier in the thread, it was asked why someone would subject bullets to faster twists. Three reasons that come to mind immediately are, more goo on gophers with light-weight bullets, optimzing BC with pointier target bullets, and more positive effects on big game with monometal / bonded bullets. Bill Steigers with his old BBC line was an early proponent of that.
