[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 76813, member: 10"] JB, They wouldn't. Lilja recommend a 1-8 for all the 140-155 gr VLD designs. Dan is alot like me, better to be conservative then to deal with ****ed off customers. I have used the 1-9s with the 140-155 gr VLDs and have had great results but still would prefer a 1-8 just for the extremes. Also for big game hunting I would rather have a bit more spin. I do not BR shoot so the absolute ultimate in accuracy as far as matching bullets to twist rates concerns me very little. I want as much accuracy as I can get in a 100% reliable package. For that reason I recommend 1" faster twists then what is probably needed, still, you will not go wrong with this class of round. Now for the 6.5 AM, with the dramatically higher velocity, bullet integrity will be an issue so I would recommend dropping to a 1-9 or even 1-10 but like I said, I will need to test that to make a solid recommendation with that round.
