[QUOTE="Wapity hunter, post: 1902260, member: 113367"] I have had a sako85 270wsm for over ten years. 1in 10 twist. I tried the nosler 150ABLR 5years ago with poor results. It was a tack driver at 200 metres with mv of 3250fps, but when testing it out to 600metres the bullet drop was a good 400mm more than it should have been using the strelok program. I put this down to incorrect bc claim at the time but now im sure it was the plastic tip melting after about 300 metres affecting the bc . I now use the hornady145 grain eldx at 3330fps 70.3 grains IMR7828ssc and acuracy is outstanding and bc is bang on with the strelok program. I have taken buck chamois at 725 metres . Bullet 50mm from where aimed. The majority of .277 rifles only having a 1 in 10 twist would be why hornady only make the eldx up to 145 gr in .277 i would guess. I used to shoot Nosler 150 bst pills with good results. They have a much lower bc than the Nosler 150ABLR. So if it wasnt the plastic tip melting it must have been the much longer 150ABLR that requires a tighter twist than 1in 10. There is no way that the 165 ABLR will ever perform in a .277 1 in 10 twist. [/QUOTE]
