[QUOTE="DJ Fergus, post: 1997423, member: 93895"] I have shot several 6.5 cals. Prc, gap, and a bunch of creedmoors. 9 twist creedmoors preferred 130s far more than 140s, one 8.25 twist shot 147s very well. 8 twist Gap, PRC, & creedmoors liked 147s very much so. I've got one 7.5 twist creedmoor and it shot 140s ok but seemed a little finicky with them. I didn't try 147s In it but I would bet the farm it would be less finicky with a 147. I'm going to say that your 7.75 twist would shine with 144-156gr bullets. I would think a 8.25-8.5 twist would cover 130-140gr bullets very well. Alot of folks say that you can't over twist a bullet. While I won't argue that idea, I believe it is very subjective. I do believe over twisting can sometimes make load development more finicky and to a point..... A balancing act. [/QUOTE]
