[QUOTE="paste, post: 317419, member: 17790"] i have a 6mm Penrod with a krieger 1-8 twist barrel it shoots the 105 gr lapua scenars extremely well but when i shoot 87 gr v-max bullets they will keyhole at 500 yds. when i asked my rifle smith about it his reply was the lighter bullets have to much of a centrifugal spin that prevents them from achieving the proper arc when they are in flight and they penetrate the target with the tip of the bullet pointing upwards. you might want to verify this with a second opinion [/QUOTE]
