bowhunt-R Report post Posted June 21, 2023 I just ordered this caliber in a browning x bolt. The gun has a 26” barrel with a 1:7 twist rate. I live and hunt at 6500ft. Will I have any issues shooting hornady 143 grain eldx from this rifle? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoss50 Report post Posted June 21, 2023 You should be fine. That twist is pl plenty fast for that bullet. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
L Cazador Report post Posted June 22, 2023 That twist was designed for the heavy 153 grain bullets but it should perform admirably on the 143 bullets. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frankly a difference of 4 or 5 grains of bullet weight would not show up on paper or field. Over spin is not a factor in this scenario. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
