There are zero reasons to build a rifle in the best cartridge in the world….. and then shoot junk bullets.

That’s my summary of many forum posts. Although one man’s junk might be……. You know!

I understand the comment, but, I also like trying new stuff. The 103ELD's worked out ok in my 6BR. But, I ended up going to the automated Vapor Trail and then the 105VLD Bergers.

I also know I have 'crippled' the 6BR by putting it in a Savage action and 'only' the Shilen barrel with a 'cheap' Burris F-class scope.

I think if I took the time to sort the ELD's they might have done better. If I get a flier it doesn't harm anything. It just means I don't hit the small plate on that shot

Twist Rate Stability Calculator Updated

We’re happy to announce a major upgrade to our Twist Rate Stability Calculator which is available for free on the Berger Bullets webpage. The old stability calculator was pretty basic, and would simply return a gyroscopic stability number based on your bullet, twist rate and atmospheric conditions.

I think that calculator spits out some crazy numbers.

Seems to say the only way a bullet has full BC is when it over 300k spin, where it starts to shoot poorly and explode bullets out of the muzzle.

I haven't played with the calculator for quite a few years now but it used to be overly optimistic on their bullet lengths if you just used the library. I found that bullets I had on hand were significantly shorter and when I put in my own measurements, things were a little more forgiving. Also, I'm pretty sure that the numbers only work with hollow point bullets. Tipped bullets need a different calculator unless things have changed on that front.
