Thanks. That follows the information I have seen elswhere and prior to reading Litz's book. His chapter on stability indicates a best practice of maintaining a SG (stability factor) of over 1.4 and that you can't really have too much spin until it gets extreme and then you have to worry about the slight imperfections in the bullet causing instability. Not that Litz is the guruist of the gurus, but I think he's pretty well respected in the long range game.

Shilen's pretty reputable as well, and probably I am worrying over nothing as the 22" barrel on my current stick is 1 in 9 and it shoots pretty damn tight. But if I can get even more accuracy due to increased stability provided by a tighter twist I want to take advantage. What's the consensus?
