Getting onto the fact you think 1/8 twist can barely stabilize a 70gr pill. I have nothing else to say except that this information is false and nobody should be listening to it.
I've never come across a 1/8 barrel that can't stabilize a 77gr pill let alone one that weighs 70gr. In fact, I'm looking at a box of 77gr Sierra Match Kings and right on the box, it says "1/7 or 1/8 twist only". Most of the precision guys are using 1/8 barrels and shooting either 77gr Sierra's or 77gr Noslers.
If you look around, you will actually find, most match and SS barrels are only offered in 1/8 twist.
Maybe you got confused and instead of typing 1/9 you types 1/8. If you didn't get confused then please stop spreading false information. Bottom line....1/8 is plenty fast to stabilize 77gr pills. Hell, some 1/9 barrels can stabilize a 77gr pill.
