I'm finally getting into reloading and want to load the Berger 300gr Elite Hunter bullet. My Alamo rifle has a 1-10 twist. It shoots my 250 grain factory great out to 500 yards then opens up. I have a few reloading books and have read quite a bit but haven't load a single round yet. Main question is will a 1-10 stabilize this bullet? I've seen a Cutting Edge 300gr bullet that requires 1-8.5 or faster. I really didn't want a 300gr but more around 275gr but havent found a good hunting bullet that works @ 100 yards and 1000+. Thanks in advance men.

according to Shilen data, you should be fine ...
.338
- 8" for all bullets
- 9" * Ratchet rifled 4 groove
- 10" for all bullets
My suggestion: call Bryan Litz or Eric Stecker at Berger and get the skinny from those who make the bullets you want to shoot. -
Thanks Blake. Those guys @ Berger know their stuff. Informed me I need to spend more $$$ too. LolOriginally posted by Cajun Blake View PostComment

Eric was trained under Walt who knew how to build super accurate bulletsComment
