[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1680678, member: 68875"] I have two 6.5SSs. One is a 1:8" that I have been shooting for over a year, tons of different bullet/powder trials. A lot of different bullets, from 124 Hammer, 127 LRX, 130 HVLD, 140 HVLD, 140 Hybrid, 142 SMK, 142 NABLR, to 150 SMK. For long range, the 150 SMK is awesome. My new one was built specifically to shoot the 156 Berger, expecting it to require a 1:7.5" twist, not a 1:8". Which I would bet is the optimal twist rate. Also, the heavier Hammers. I only have 21 rounds down the barrel, and it it loves the 156 Berger so far. I would look at those if you can get a few. [/QUOTE]
