[QUOTE="jb1000br, post: 76907, member: 1459"] Mike....here is this from Boyd... Mike.I have shot the 140 A-Max that call for a 1-7.5 twist out of my 6.5 Heaton 9 twist at around 2900fps down to about 40 degrees at Mifflin with JB1000 there.Jasons words were (I thought you said it did'nt shoot at 100 yards)I think a 9 would be enough if you did'nt try to shoot them in the artic [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] ...I would be interested in trying the wc 142.I know he made me some 120's to try that shot well.But not any better than anything I have quick access too.The old 140A-Max shoots like a house a fire out of both my 6.5's.Saving them for critters though...Boyd ------------------------------- Now me: BTW -- Richard sent me some 142's but they were too long for me to shoot -- will be way down in my powder column -- boyd's 6.5 may be better set up to handle these as they have the same bearing surface as the new 140amax [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] (which i also cant shoot) JB [/QUOTE]
