I have printed your loading results for the 6.5-06imp, and am wondering what twist barrel you used? I have a 26" 8 twist, and am wondering if you can add some suggestions to the ones other members provided. The bullet will be 139gr lapua, 140gr a-max, and 142gr SMK.

Thanks

JustC,

I was hoping Saeed would answer this query, so perhaps he will see it this time.

I shoot a 6.5-'06 with a 9" twist/23.6" (600 mm) barrel. It will shoot bullets up to 160 grain if they are round nosed, and it shoots all the spitzers in the 140 grain range that I have tried in it.

Your rifle will certainly stabilize them.

Gentlemen,

Sorry for the delay in answering this question, I did not see it before!

Our rifle has a 9 twist.

Thank You Saeed.

Have you done any testing since the data was posted? If so, what new powders have been experimented with?

Thanks.

Hunter Jim, That is also some good information in case I want to hunt the woods or close range, thanks.
