[QUOTE="JTH, post: 2610992, member: 59647"] I don’t have the 6.5 Sherman but do have a couple Sherman wildcats, the 6.5 SS and a 7 Max. I’ve shot a lot of Hammers out of both and would highly recommend faster twist rate barrels to fully stabilize the longer monolithic bullets. In the 6.5SS I’ve run the 124 hammer at 3250 fps out of a 22” barrel in 7.5 twist In the 7 Max I ran the 131 Hammer at 3450 fps in an 8 twist. Both are crazy accurate (1/2” MOA or better) and absolutely devastating on game. When I re-barrel they will get faster twist rates to get gyroscopic stability on heavier monolithic bullets above 2.0 , the higher the better for optimal terminal performance. [/QUOTE]
