[QUOTE="Bob Wright, post: 1900732, member: 104363"] Call Steve at Hammer for recommendations. The Barnes are good bullets but those mushroom and don't lose petals. They are good bullets, but for extended distances, the mushroom shape is less, obviously. Rate of twist is very important. My 7mm 8.5 twist will not stabilize the 168LRX Barnes, despite what Barnes data says, 1:9 min. Hammers shed petals causing secondary damage, with the remaining slug doing primary damage. Steve can fill you in on the twist/bullet stability and any other questions. [/QUOTE]
