    Heavy projectiles need fast twist rates to stabilize. What have you got?

    The twist rate in the Bergara is 1:16 inches. Hopefully that should be suitable. At least I haven't had any bullets hit the target sideways during the tests.

    One thing I find intriguing is that my heavier bullets (going at a similar velocity to my lighter bullets) tend to group to the right. I had hoped that the big heavy Bergara barrel would keep things fairly constant. But no... it is all quite mysterious.
