243 twist / bullet

I had a concern about shooting lighter bullets (70-80 gr)through my 8 twist 6x47 lapua. I thought they might blow up before reaching the target. So far ive pushed 70 gr ballistic tips to just about 3500 fps without issue. Not exactly an answer to your question, but i thought you might appreciate the data. In my experience, an overstabilized bullet, so long as it stays together for the journey, seems to do just fine.
