[QUOTE="Steve Shelp, post: 26408, member: 22"] David, Agree with S1. I to shoot Lilja barrels and my 9 twist Light Gun class BR rifle is a hummer with these bullets. I've got a 8 twist Lilja 3 groove for my switch barrel Heavy Class rifle also. You don't need a 7 twist for the average 6.5 capacity case. S1, Have you noticed any difference in 100yd accuracy in comparing the 8 to 9 twists 1 for 1? The reason I ask is that my 8 twist barrel using the Hornady's, I have to slow them down under 2800 to get them to shoot the same accuracy as the 9 twist with the same loading components. I've been able to repeat this test. I understand the RPMs of the 8 is going to be more and they should have to slow down to equal the 9 twist RPM equavilent. My 9 twist will shoot like a house-a-fire at 100yds (w/ 1000yd loads) but the 8 twist won't touch it at 100yds. But they are 1 for 1 at 1000yds the best I can tell. Not done fully shaking down the 8 twist loads yet. Just an observation on my part and curious if you've seen anything along the same lines? Steve [/QUOTE]
