[QUOTE="rammac, post: 1841217, member: 27761"] You're going to have to drop to a 150 to 155 grain bullet to get better performance in that barrel. According to Litz' book, your bullet (168gr Hornady ELD-M) is not stable under the worst case conditions, which are pretty close to your description of altitude and temp. You would need a 1 in 11" or 10" twist to stabilize that bullet under your conditions. A Hornady 150gr FMJ-BT would probably work. [/QUOTE]
