[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 2958317, member: 68875"] Most of my 6.5mm rifles run a 1:7.5" except two. 6.5CM (my older daughter's factory rifle) 1:8" shooting a 130 OTM 6.5SLR (my younger daughter's custom) 1:8" shooting a 130 OTM All the rest run a 1:7.5" .260AI w. 130 OTM, 130 TMK & 140 Hyb 6.5PRC w. 129 NABLR, 130 TMK, 130 OTM, 140 Hyb, 150 SMK, 156 Elite 6.5PRC/SI w. 140 Elite & 156 Elite 6.5SS (20") w. 130 OTM, 140 Hyb, 150 SMK 6.5SS (26") w. 156 Elite I just purchased another 20" 1:7.5" to build a short/light .260AI that will run a 140 Hyb The 156 states "for 1:8" minimum" on the box. But I feel the 1:7.5" is jist a bit better suited for them. Even the super long 150 SMK shoots excellent in a 1:7.5". I personally do not feel a 1:7" is NEEDED. But it doesn't hurt either. I would go #3 1:7.5" myself. [/QUOTE]
