[QUOTE="Hawk in WY, post: 1087006, member: 70947"] Thank you for the reply. I measured the barrel as 1:9 or a little more. Lilja tells me they don't do fractions. They claim 1:9. Berger's stability index says the 168 grain should be stable, but the LRX is a very long bullet. I am shooting at 6,200 feet. The group with the 168 is fine if it wasn't key holing. I wasn't seeing pressure signs at my top load, but the scarcity of published data makes this difficult. I ran the COAL range with the 145 gr LRX from SAMI spec of 3.33 which may not be far enough off the lands. I will redo the COAL measurement to the lands. My measurement seems short when I think about this. Any one have a bullet/powder combination that shoots in this caliber? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
