[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1473984, member: 54178"] UPDATE: I'm thinking of selling my Ruger American Predator, accurate as it is, and buying a Browning X-Bolt. BUT... this year 6.5 CM X-Bolts have a [B]1:7[/B] twist rate! I called Browning and asked that would be too fast for a 120 gr. bullet ands told by a tech that "It depends if your rifle likes it or not." That is a cop-out answer B/C in the AVERAGE rifle and AVERAGE 120 gr. load IMHO it is likely too fast. So, where do I go, besides some opinion forum like Sniper's Hide or here, to get a ballistician's or ammo maker's opinion on this? Eric B. [/QUOTE]
