OK, I definitely don't know everything about reloading and bullet selection, but I'm trying to figure this out. I understand that longer bullets require a faster rate of twist to be stabilized in flight. I've also heard that higher velocities help to stabilize bullets that might otherwise be marginal at a certain rate of twist. This implies that as a longer bullet loses velocity downrange, it might destabilize quicker than a shorter bullet. I'm wondering if I need to worry that a bullet that works well at 100 yards might slow down and not be flying as straight at 300 or 400 yards?
Specifically, I'm looking at the 175gr Nosler Partition for my 7mm Rem Mag. I know there are other 175gr bullets that are not recommended with the standard 1:10 twist I have, and I also know that bullet is heavy enough that I won't be pushing it real fast. It looks like it has potential, but I'm concerned about losing stability downrange.
