    maybe....but the 160 partition will function in std 1;10 twist...taking a great bullet and tweaking it slightly to make it more slippery seems better idea to me.

    The issue is to make it more slippery is that that means it has to be longer and that means it may need a faster twist. Obviously this can be ballanced but theres a reason those snub nose 160 6.5 projectiles used to stabalise out of the slower twisted 6.5x55s but they wont stabilize some of the 140-150 class eld/vld projectiles.

    But if your happy to shoot a pooseventy whats another nail in the coffin hahaha @ryan songhurst
