[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 972239, member: 22069"] You don't know that until you actually shoot the heavier/longer/higher bc bullets in your rifle. It is commonly stated that a 9 twist won't stabilize the 140 VLD's. My 9 twist 6.5x55 not only stabilizes them, but shoots them VERY accurately. Ditto 140 AMAX's. I haven't had the opportunity to try them in my .264 Winchester Mag yet, but it shoots 140 Nosler Partitions just fine. Keep in mind that the manufacturers routinely engage in CYA for the worst possible scenario, so take their stated twist recommendations with a large grain of salt. Where the 123 AMAX is concerned, most of Hornady's bc's have been shown to be fairly accurate. The 123 AMAX was designed for use in the 6.5 Grendel, .264 Les Baer Carbine (basically a Grendel chamber cut specifically for the 123 class match bullets), and 6.5x47 Lapua, hence the Grendel/LBC/Lapua moniker.
