[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1691555, member: 54178"] My 6.5 PRC Browning X-Bolt Pro with a 24" barrel has a 1:7 twist but I think a 1:7.5 would also be good. 1:8 is good for 6.5 CM but too slow for for properly stabilizing faster moving [B]heavier[/B] 6.5 PRC bullets from 147 grains on up. This has been my experience with my 1:8 twist, 26" barreled Ruger Precision Rifle and 147 gr. bullets. They just don't group as well as 140 gr. ELD-M ammo. And, when I get to finally shooting it in two weeks, I expect my 6.5 PRC X-Bolt Pro will do much better with the 147 gr. Hornady ELD-M ammo and some 150 gr. hand loads. Then on to 153 gr. A-Tip hand loads. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
