[QUOTE="MarkTheFark, post: 2103775, member: 114031"] 129 Absolute Hammers in 6.5 Creedmoor (20", 1:75) I haven't seen anyone run the 129s in a 6.5 Creed yet (maybe I missed it), and that makes sense, given that the point of Absolutes are to run lighter and faster, and also that the 129s have a minimum twist of 1:7.5, which is faster than most Creeds out there. I have a 20" barrel Creed with a 7.5 twist, so I figured it'd be fun to try them out. For comparison, I run a 124 Hammer Hunter with 40.2g Varget at 2900. Here's what I got with the 129...
