Re: New RWS Big Bore Caliber: 10.3x68

I guess the idea is that you first decide on the intended purpose of the rifle followed by the average bullet weight that you intend to use, then you choose a twist rate that best suits that bullet weight.
Waidmannsheil.
Then why not just pick a calibre best suited to the weight range in the first place?
eg .338 - 160 to 200 gr range, choose a .30 calibre
eg .338 - 220 to 250 gr range, natural range of a .338.
Unless of course a compromise rifling twist range is possible.
I wonder. If a lighter bullet was longer than normal would the slower twist rate stabilise it?
eg .375 - normal range is 236 gr to 300 gr (or 350 gr).
If one wanted to say shoot a 180 gr projectile in the .375, if it was say made to a greater length, ie say longer than a normal 235 or 250 gr projectile, would it still stabilise?
Just out of theoretical interest.
