I have a Browning X-Bolt Stalker with 26" barrel in 6.5mm Creedmoor that I purchased in 2017. I'm looking for the twist rate and a review of rifles on the Browning website shows the "new" X-Bolt Pro Long Range that appears to differ only in the name, having a twist rate of 7".
A question is raised because the data on the boxes of Hornady ELD-Match created it.
Two lot numbers differ in BC numbers and twist rate recommendation, leading me to question if I should bother working up loads for them, assuming my twist rate is 1:7".
Lot #1
Twist rate 1-8"
G1BC .646
G7BC .326
I measured the base to tip: 1.385"
I measured the base to ogive: 0.762
Lot #2
Twist rate 1-8"
G1BC .697
G7BC .351
Base to tip: 1.458"
Base to ogive: 0.814
I would appreciate any suggestions.
