[QUOTE="tweek1142, post: 2143722, member: 57083"] I second the 1:9 twist. I run a 1:9 in my 7 practical. Stabilizes the 180 eldm just fine to 1k killed many chucks past 1k. With 1 chuck killed at 1,570. the 7/08 with a 162 behind varget is a deadly deer slayer. Velocity isn’t fast at 2650-2700fps... but the 162 eldm is a very soft bullet. At these velocities it’s absolutely perfect and hits like a hammer. Run the numbers to 500yds. 2,675fps with a 100yd zero it’s 10.5 min to 500 with 2000fps and 1400lbs energy! If you sight in 3” high at 100 it’s only 7.5 min to 500. Hold on hair to 300 yds on a 10” kill zone. Can’t ask for more in my opinion for deer. Same trajectory as the 6.5 WISHMOORE but with more energy. Hehehe [/QUOTE]
