[QUOTE="6.5shaggy, post: 2440699, member: 13311"] I’m doing load development on a 8 twist 6.5 PRC with 123 Absolute Hammers. Using H1000 or Retumbo around 3200 FPS or IMR 7828 at 3300 FPS I am getting tight 100 yard groups around .7 MOA, but the bullets aren’t stable; about half the bullet holes are 1/4 oblong and occasionally one is almost sideways. Am I pushing too hard? I haven’t checked twist but it’s a Douglas XX I personally ordered and chambered. It shoots the 153 Bergers at 2900 FPS into tiny groups about .4moa. Any thoughts are appreciated, it’s my first adventure with Hammers. [/QUOTE]
