	Kinda similar. Hope your gun has a pretty fast twist!

	In a 38-55 what would you consider a fast twist Vall ? 1:14 ?

	My Browning Traditional Hunter 38-55 has a 1-15" twist and shoots that bullet very well. Steve

	Every now and again I think I'll give my NASA from Bernie at Old West a try in BPCR. Not sure how they compare in length but the NASA is 330gr and shoots lights out in my 38-55 with a 15 twist. Now did I cast that last batch with WW or 16:1. This one here looks like 20:1 would do just fine.

	Best Regards, John

	Schuetzendave, How does this bullet do in 18" twist?
