[QUOTE="Timnterra, post: 1545685, member: 55944"] I’m running a 21” Shilen 1-8” twist and I have excellent accuracy with 80gr smk, 80 eld-m and 88gr eld-m bullets. I kept the barrel short to run a suppressor. I’m getting very good velocity with RL26. Using gunwerks 6creed brass and fed 210m primers. I’ve heard of guys blowing up 90 and 95 smk’s with 6.5 twist barrels. Evidently they have a thin jacket. The 90gr smk has almost the same B.C. as the 88gr eldm so I’d assume they would stabilize in a 1-8” twist but I haven’t tried them or the 95gr. If I was going to build another one it would be on a 1-7 twist barrel just to try the 95gr smk. [/QUOTE]
