In my new 30-06 I am going with a 1:9 twist just incase I need it to stabilize the longer heavy VLDs. I don't anticipate shooting anything lighter than 150 grains, and 168 grains VLDs will probably be a staple diet for my 06... I'll probably shoot 180 grains as well.. If I get the urge to stretch its legs 200 grains and up is the game.
I've always shot a 1:10 twist in a 06, and was wondering if 1:9 would really be to fast for lighter bullets or will I notice a significant difference one way or the other.
Thought I would get an opinion from those who have experience in this are. I have no idea why, but twist rate always concerns me somewhat because I've always been taught that lighter bullet accuracy suffers a bit if you spin a bullet faster than necessary to stabilize it in flight. Any thoughts to help clarify this from the more experienced shooters would be appreciative.
