| Guidelines for Stability Factor, Twist Rate and COL: |
Choose a bullet length best suited to your rifle twist and type of hunting. Note that S/F increases as twist tightens. A 1:10" twist is tighter than a 1:12" twist. |
Bush and
dangerous game hunting S/F greater than 1.6 is required. There is no upper limit to the S/F here. If this bullet does not meet the requirement, use a shorter bullet. |
General
hunting to 500m/yds S/F greater than 1.4 is required. There is no upper limit to the S/F here. If this bullet does not meet the requirement, use a shorter bullet. |
Long range
beyond 500m/yds S/F greater than 1.1 is required but more than 1.5 is not desirable. If this bullet S/F is too high, use a longer bullet. If too low, use a shorter bullet. |
|||||
|
COL: To determine the minimum and maximum cartridge overall length with this bullet, add the minimum or maximum values to your cartridge case length. |
Minimum | 19.0mm / 0.75" | |||||||
| Maximum | 22.0mm / 0.87" | ||||||||
|
On the chart to the right: 1. Select the twist rate of your rifle on the horizontal axis and read the S/F on the vertical axis. 2. Use the guidelines above to determine suitability for your application. 3. Check the calibre list for your calibre. |
