[QUOTE="Duhawk, post: 1530733, member: 63335"] With my 6.5AI, sure. It'd match up within certain ranges bullet depending. But the 160 pretty much maxs out so far for the 6.5, and I wonder if the CM could even stabilize the round. At one time, I toyed with trying Sierras 150grn but saw they recommended 7.5 twist or faster. Mine is an 8 twist so I dropped the idea. Talking with my smith, he said that was there primarily for the CM shooters. He said can't get enough velocity to reasonably stabilize the bullet w/o a faster twist. Since then I've been shooting 142-152grn range and doing reasonably well at longer shots (paper & steel)....and yeah, higher velocities (2950-3100fps range). [/QUOTE]
