[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1126320, member: 12995"] I wasn't referring to your rifle. I was referring to 7mmShooter's factory 700 SPS. At 200 yards, stability is not a huge factor, but I think it will be extremely tough to even get them to group with a 9.25" twist...Even at your elevation. I'm not saying that it definitely won't work...Because you never know until you try. But here are the reasons why I think they might not... According to Berger's stability calculator, to achieve a 1.5 SG with the 195's in a 9.25" twist, at 1,500' ASL, the bullet would have to leave the muzzle at a minimum of 4,638 fps. Also, I have not been able to get a 9.5" twist 7mm RemMag to shoot a 180 VLD or Hybrid, even over 2,900 fps. And that combo has a higher SG (1.35) than your combo (recalculated at 1.27 with your elevation). [/QUOTE]
