[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 920477, member: 23486"] Do you want some more 180's? I was using them in my Lazz Patriot but have since jumped ship after they were discontinued.... A 165grn 6.5 Barnes would look like a 750grn 50cal A-Max. There is no factory twist on the planet that would stabilize that bullet. My 8.4" can't even stabilize the 140 CEB's, think about that. The grooves on the TSX/TTSX/MRX most definitely drop the BC, they gave some there to reduce fouling, I can live with that. By going above the current "conventional" weight bullets, we would all have to order custom made super fast twist barrels. As Beng pointed out, mono metal bullets have to be a LOT longer to achieve the same mass; being that long you will have stability issues. It sucks but it's the truth. t [/QUOTE]
