I have a ZCO 420 on a Defiance Long Action. Obviously, I have a full rail which makes things easier. I would think if you have the correct LOP on your stock, you should be fine.

Thanks for the info. Thank you for the offer but I have plenty. I shoot them through a creedmoor and they have been great. My concern was you were experiencing 'blow ups.' I've heard rumors about jacket separation on the 135 A-Tips at high speeds or high twist rates - much like the 147 ELD-M...

I apologize for reviving this thread but what was a 'bust' on the 135 A-Tip? I was considering working up a load for them to use during an NRL Hunter Match. I don't want to waste time or components if there was an issue.

Sorry, I know this is old but I'm making the jump from RL26 to N560. Do you mind telling me what brass you were using with that load?

I'm actually switching back from a 1:9 twist to a 1:10 for the 230 OTM. I was previously running the 215 hybrid. Running my actual numbers through the Berger twist calculator, the 230 OTM is actually more stable than running the 215 Hybrid.

30-06 would be my selection of the 2. Better glass and a tad more energy. Not saying the 7mm-08 wouldn't do the trick, I'd just take the best glass with the most energy I could get on such an important hunt.
