[QUOTE="trapperjohn, post: 691738, member: 53612"] Just bought some 7mm 168gr LRX last week for SAKO. I didn't realize that the bullets "Require" 1:9" twist or faster. This SAKO is 1:10" twist. I had the bullets "keyhole" at 100yds. I could not find any published load data and was working up a load based on both the Barnes bullets either side of this in Manual #4. Started at 59gr RE25 and stopped at 63gr. No accuracy at all up to about 61gr and 63 gr has a group about 2" across but clearly keyholed. Rangemaster thought I had two holes in each one. Have decided to "pull" the bullets. Any other advice? [/QUOTE]
