I agree with you.

Although I like long heavy bullets, they are generally less accurate than shorter, lighter bullets. Just the opposite of what he says.

I also like large diameter heavy bullets loaded lightly. Sometimes the rifling twist isn't fast enough for the heavy bullets tho.

I had thought that at comparable velocities a longer bullet is more stable than a shorter one because of areodynamics. Like a longer arrow is more stable in flight than a stubby stick.
