105 A-MAX in a 9 1/4 twist?

[brenden270]

Has anybody tried 105 grain A-Max bullets through remington factory 9 1/4" twist 6mm? I want to try them but I'm worried about wasting 25$ if they won't stabilize.

Thanks guys

Manual says 1 in 7" for 105 may or may not fly.

1:8 for a 105....YMMV

Can't hurt to try a box. It's the only way to really know.

FWIW, I have an SPS-Varmint (9 1/8 twist) that shoot the 105 A-max's/Imr 4350 extremely well.

my 105 amax bullets say 1in9" twist. right on the front of the box. so I imagine the 1 in 9.25 is close enough to give it a try

Amax must have a shorter bearing surface than Berger. Berger has 1:8 on the box.

41.0 grains of H414 worked fine in my 243 if under an inch at 200 metres is okay.

OK boys...I'll try them. Thanks for the input.

Yes I have tried them, and they fly great in a 1:9.25 for me, with IMR 4831.
I was supprized the accuracy I was getting.

I only tried them after looking at a box that said for 1:9 twists, I normaly shot 100 grains and under.

I have had good results with the 105 in a 1:9.25. I think it is on the edge but at 3000 fps they made the trip to 1100yards with pretty good accuracy, around 1.5MOA at that range.

105 Amax indeed call for a 1:9 twist. I only ever had mixed results with them, but Amax's were used to set a 1000 yard 5-shot record group with a 6BR.

Get some 90 grain Berger Match BT's and put a smile on your face!

They'll be fine. Just remember that an A-Max is not a deer bullet. A varmint won't care.
