Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Will a 1:9 twist barrel in 6.5x55 stabilize 140 grain bullets?

I've shot 100, 120, 123, 130, 140 and 155 in my Swede. I found the 120-123's seem to perform the best with regards to group size and velocity. Mine was a dog with 140's. I guess it depends on what you want to do with it though. Just something to think about if you are mulling over twist and bullets.
