[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 935508, member: 12995"] If you have an aftermarket 1:9 twist barrel, you should have no issues shooting the 180's. However, most factory barrels they say it's a 9" twist, but it might really be a 9.25" or a 9.5" when measured, and they won't stabilize them. Which I think it what happened with my Rem 700 barrel. I know for a fact both my Ruger and Browning 7mmRM's came with 9.5" twists from the factory. But my Remington was supposed to be a 1:9, and it doesn't like the 180's. Like I said, if you have a good quality name brand aftermarket barrel with a 1:9 twist, and you find the right powder charge, you should have no issues shooting the 180 VLD's or Hybrids. [/QUOTE]
