[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 1079879, member: 63138"] Scale124 The 168 LRX did not stabilize in my 9 twist 7mm WSM. I had oblong holes running that bullet up to 3,100 fps at 750 feet elevation. Faster than that it started to behave but that was in a custom throated 7mm WSM with a COAL of 3.165" and you can't get there with a standard 7mm WSM. The bottom line, take out your sharpie and run and line though the 1 in 9 twist printed on the box and write in 1 in 8. Nevertheless, I like the LRX and plan on using it in my 28 Nosler which is an 8 twist. I do find it interesting that you would mention the 168 Barnes LRX and the 175 ABLRs in the same sentence. Those bullets are polar opposites. I have both bullets and will likely use the ABLRs for shooting rocks and the 168 LRX on game. If I every get cocky enough to think I could shoot game out past 800 yards (not likely) I might consider using the 175 ABLRs which I see as too soft for up close work. [/QUOTE]
