    Browning Xbolt Long Range rate twist change for 2018?

    Awesome. Thanks @Formidilosus Do you have a 6.5 PRC or similar magnum in 1:7? I might get one in the future after my new CM barrel. I’ve been reading people speculate on RPM and over 300-350k being “dangerous for jacket separation.” Only bullets that I’ve ever really read about having issues...

    Browning Xbolt Long Range rate twist change for 2018?

    @Formidilosus do you have 1 or more 1:7“ 6.5’s? I was planning to go with a 1:7 but after making a post got a lot of feedback and was told there was no to go faster than 1:7.5. From what I’ve read plus seeing every Browning X-bolt in 6.5 Creedmoor and both 16”/22” Q the FIX 6.5 CM all come in...

    6.5 creed and 156gr Bergers

    I posted this earlier today but don’t think it was approved because I linked to another forum, AccurateShooter. Reposting without the link. Factory rifles from at least 2 manufacturers are currently being made with a 1:7 twist rate: Browning X-Bolt (every 6.5 CM model) & Q The FIX (16” + 22”)...

    6.5 creed and 156gr Bergers

    Also, Sierra states their 150 gr HPBT “bullet requires a barrel twist rate of 1×7.5” or faster.” While this isn’t a bullet I was planning to try out right away I may consider it down the line. But a 1:7.5” would still be sufficient. I appreciate the input on 1:7 being too fast. I also don’t...

    I wouldn’t be able to/planning to shoot at any higher elevation than 500' in the near future.

    6.5 creed and 156gr Bergers

    Factory rifles from at least 1 manufacturer are currently being made with a 1:7 twist rate. All of Browning’s current X-bolt 6.5 Creedmoor rifles are 1:7 and I believe they started transitioning to this in 2022. Also I’ve seen 6.5 CM prefits available in 1:7. Maybe only necessary for mono’s...

    6.5 creed and 156gr Bergers

    I read through this whole thread and tried searching your posts too. Maybe I still missed it but @mt100gr. did you say what velocity you got up to with RL26 in your 20” 6.5 Creedmoor? Also, how did they work out for you at longer range?? I’m looking to load up the Berger 153.5 LRHT’s with...
