184 Berger Stability

[NV_Dmax]

Anyone have experience with the 184 Berger at sea level and 1:8.75 twist going 2790fps?

I live and shoot at 4,500feet and haven’t had a chance to test at that elevation.
Thanks

They shoot fine in a 1:9 twist at 800 feet. 2830.

I've shot them from 20' to almost 6800' out of a 9 twist with zero issues.

I'm here to testify, brother....AMEN! Norm, was Jim shooting an 8.5 or 9tw with the 184's when he shot the 200-23X at Palo Alto? FYI...PA is at 6ft above MSL.

My son shot them at 2800'ish at 6K. No issues.... except getting blown all over!

Robin, I think Jim was shooting the 184's with a 8.5 twist.

The 8.75" twist is perfect at sea level according to Berger's Stability calculator. I'm shooting a 1:8.5 and haven't had any bobbles ever. My elevations range between 400 feet and 6,000 ft.
