Designing the 2-diameter paper patch bullet.

[Distant Thunder]

Gavin,

You are correct about the twist vs. length thing. I had a .44-100 Remington in an 18-twist and that's a bit slow for a .44 caliber much over 485 grains and it preferred fairly blunt bullets even then. It did well out to 600 yards with my 485 grain bullet, I don't recall the length, but nothing worked well past 800.
