Twist on 168 LRX

[1maxhunter]

Has anyone shot the Barnes 168 gr. LRX BT bullets out of a 1-9 twist barrel? The box says 1-8 or faster. Gona load them in a 28 nosler or my stw but both are 1-9. Will they shoot?

most likely they will shoot just fine, but at a lower BC than the they normally preform atgun)

I have tried it in my two 7MM STW's one with a 1/10 that stabilizes 180 Berger VLD hunters and the other with a 1/9, both 26" high caliber barrels, could not stabilize in either, yaw was obvious at all ranges on both. I'm shooting at sealevel in warm temps during most of my testing. Shame because I love that DRT that Barnes produces!

Shoot straight gun)
