    I m using a trueflite 1 in 9 twist. Talking to Anthony, the owner, he might get a button to make something around the 1 in 6 “ twist at some stage.
    The 300 gr SMk stabilise fine with that twist.
    I wonder if it would not have been easier to form the case from hornady or starline as mentioned above rather than a hard thick brass like Sako or lapua.
    It looks like that intermediate forming die could help as well. And changing the powders I m using I guess. I have Lee 8.6 black out dies, so there is a crimping tool with them, which I shall use next time.
