Range Report Berger 230 gr Match Hybrid Target and twist rate

[Robar498]

I was wondering if anyone had shot the Berger 230 gr Match Hybrid Target out of a 300 win mag that had a lower twist rate of 1 to 10. I have shot them in my 300 win mag 5R mil spec up to 1400 yards. I wanted to know if a lower twist rate would help the bullets accuracy or improve it, out past say 1000 yards. In my gun it seems that the bullet groups better when I get out past 500 yards. I am shooting H1000 with 77.0 grains of powder with Norma brass.

I run the 230 OTM with a 1:10 and dont se any bebefit of running a faster twist, let me try and find some backing to my opinion. What length barrel you running?

26 inch barrel. I didnt know if the lower twist would help stabilize it better?

Here is a ton of info about the 215 over the 230. A great read with lots of kills. 600-1230 yards.
