[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 832415, member: 12995"] It's all in your rifling rate of twist. Some guns have a tighter twist and like heavier bullets. Most factory rifles have a lenient twist, and will shoot better with lighter weight bullets. Then again, sometimes things will surprise you. If your gun has a slower twist, the 165's might be your best bet, but if it has a tighter twist, the 180's might shoot better. I just saw where you had mentioned 180's earlier, so that's why I posted a bunch on 180gr loads. I don't have any WSM's, and have very little personal experience with shooting them. So that is about the extent of my knowledge with them. Just trying to be helpful. [/QUOTE]
