[QUOTE="DJ Fergus, post: 1907113, member: 93895"] At STW velocities, a 9.5 twist will stabilize a 160-175 gr. You will get varied opinions, but I would be willing to bet that a 162 eld-m seated somewhere from .047-.080 from the lands will get you to around 1/2 moa. If you have a chronograph. Look for nodes (velocities to flatten out) somewhere between 3040fps- 3080fps. And if you can get to 3150-3200fps without hitting max, there should be a node in there somewhere. A 168 hybrid Berger would be another fine choice for your twist rate. I personally stay away from the eldx bullets. I really think that you will find the best accuracy with a 162 eldm or a 168 hybrid. I have had a 180 eldm stabilize in a 9.25 twist and you might possibly be able to also but it's no sure bet. All you could do is try. I use nosler brass, I found out that more neck tension than less worked better for me. [/QUOTE]
