[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 69653, member: 10"] Chris, Well this is a strange one!!! Your 1-8 should not be a huge issue at the 3150 fps velocity range but maybe it is. I have only tested the 142s in a 1-8 handgun in WSM up to a bit over 2800 fps and they shot great. Out of my 6.5-06 AI I did hit 3100 fps but this was a very hot load in the 26" barrel and it has a 1-9 twist so maybe that is the issue here I do not know. Something is not right for sure. You have any 1-9 6.5mm rifles youcould test the same bullets in? I would be curious if they performed any differently with the slower twist? I believe the 142 gr ULD is built onthe very thin J-4 jacket so maybe it is an issue with rotational stresses??? Again, I would be very curious how they performed in a 1-9 if you have one laying around the shop??? Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
