10 TWIST?

WILL THE 95VLDS SHOOT IN 10 TWIST @2800FPS IVE SHOT THESE IN AN 8 WITH MIXED RESULTS,.I SEEM TOGET FLIERS BUT THE OTHERS ARE SMALL GROUPS. IVE SHOT THESE IN THREE DIFFRENT TUBES ON TWO DIFF ACTIONS.SIERRAS,AND BOTH BERGERS HUNTING AND THICK.CAN ANYONE BE OF HELP?
 
By applying Don Miller's formula on twist... you will find that you need a 8.5 twist to obtain the required gyroscopic stability factor of 1.4

Sadly, your 10 twist is too mild as it returns a GS factor of merely 1.02

I obtained good, warm weather results in a 9" twist 6mm Remington at 3300-3350. They showed a little wobble at 100 but were stable at 300+. As JH said, a 10" twist is not enough.
 
Here is a link to a pretty good stability calculator so you can see what will work. I have had good results by following the calculation.
