    I had a TrueFlite 12 twist barrel that stabilized 185 Berger Juggernauts against everything the twist theory calculation said...

    The Juggernauts are a rounder, fat projectile than the Hybrids, so projectile shape probably has something to do with it as well...

    1:10 the best all round. TBH hunting loads only so 180s tops really.
    anyone tried it for real though?
    You just got two replies from guys that have been there done that and "tried it for real"
