Transcript of email conversation with ballistician at Sierra:
I inquired what max speed for this bullet (2121) is:

Max velocity depends on the twist of your barrel. With a 1-10 your looking at around 3600ft/s, will be slower with a 1-8 twist. Hope this helps

Thank you. That is very interesting. May I ask what it would be in a 1 in 8 twist and in that twist should I see and improvement in stability.
These 2 bullets will stabilize properly in a 1-14 barrel. The 1-8 is way more twist than needed and can cause jacket separation at extreme pressures and speeds. There is no definitive answer for when this will occur, it depends on the barrel.
