Nosler, like many bullet makers, often suggests rifling twists faster than required for certain bullets, to make damn sure they stabilize. Which is probably why they lump the 60 BT into theier "60-62 grain. fast twist" data for the .223.



Figured as much when I ran the numbers through the Berger Twist Rate stability link you gave me...it works!
