Over at Berger's site, www.bergerbullets.com, it shoows that a 1 in 9" twist is recomended for their 70 & 75 Gr. bullets? I thought a 1in 8" was required for bullets of these weights. Are these bullets different? There was no mention of velocities.

I've only shot Bergers loaded by Black Hills. They did just fine in 1/9 guns.

Some 70-75 grain bullets will stablize in 1:9" twist barrels. Others won't. That weight range is right on the edge out of a 1:9" twist barrel, and there is no concrete rule for it. If Berger says they'll be stable, they probably will.
