Twist Rates are guidelines but the Minimum Twist must be observed 

Minimum Twist rate: 14" / 355.6 mm 34.32 Calibers For linear penetration, select a bullet that meets the minimum recommended twist rate or is tighter. See 'Notes'
       

Calculated Ballistic Coefficient - Standard Metro G1 profile. Based on: Cd = 0.809

BC = 0.197 Maximum M/V to 1950 fps Maximum M/V to 594 m/s Any comparison with the BC values of other manufacturers is not valid as there is currently no standard method in use between manufacturers.  These BC values are only for use in an external ballistics program. Use the three values, as given, to approximately calculate BC for your launch speed and distance. For exact numbers, shoot drop tables at the elevation and temperature for your location.
BC = 0.190 1950 fps to 1200 fps 594 m/s to 366 m/s
BC = 0.220 1200 fps to 0 fps 366 m/s to 0 m/s

NOTES

A minimum twist rate of 1:9.55202960144074" or tighter, is preferred for this FN bullet.
*Note that Sg increases as twist tightens.  *A 1:10" twist is tighter than a 1:12" twist within a given caliber only. *Twist rates given in caliber lengths can be compared across calibers. *Choose a bullet length best suited to your rifle twist and type of shooting.  *When a bullet is specified for a given twist rate, it can also be used in any twist that is tighter.  Using it in a slower twist than specified, is not advisable. *Some experimentation will be required to determine exact drop tables for your equipment and location.
