[QUOTE="atepointer, post: 2960271, member: 126734"] I'd love to hear any more experience you have with the 145 MB please if you don't mind. I have put just over 11k of the 140 Match Burners down range with a 6.5 and they have been stellar. During the wuflu shortage a few of us bought some 145s(all with 8 twist barrels) and it was abysmal. Forget the SD and ES it was so unstable I had key hole paper proof was so glad I didn't use my can to test. No charge or seating depth would get me under 1 1/2" so just figured the Berger stability calculator was exactly right and that was that back to 140 MB. Are you running a 7 or 7.5 twist? Would love to hear your barrel specs and any chrono data and especially if you stretched the 145 out at distance please. Thanks for any insights as the bullet at least in in theory could be a dream at ELR withe PRC speeds. If I built a 6.5 PRC it would be an easy button Proof prefit for my Origin so 26" 7.5 twist. All new to me running these faster twist barrels and have even seen some 7 twist options in the 6.5 PRC. [/QUOTE]
