[QUOTE="86alaskan, post: 1758554, member: 75933"] I'd say use a 7.5 twist. You'll get what you're looking for for the 128 Hammer, and the 131 will shoot too. Don't worry about the 131 not being a "hunting" bullet, it kills very nicely. I took a heavy white tail buck this last Saturday at 380yds. the bullet entered the near shoulder, expanded on the blade and blew up the lungs. a small piece of the shrapnel cut the inside of the far side ribs, but otherwise the bullets stopped completely within the animal. Impact velocity was approximately 2450fps and the deer soaked up 1800ft/lbs of energy. I'd call that pretty much ideal performance. The near side shoulder showed that the bullet clearly penetrated about 1.5-2in before opening, which kept it from totally destroying the shoulder. Use the ACE and don't worry. [/QUOTE]
