So I'm going to be dropping them out at .269 and the bore diameter is said to be .268 but my question is
Will a 145 grain satablize better or will a 162 grain stabilize better. I'm trying to get the most accuracy I can just need some caster help here

Cheers and Merry Christmas

You have to shoot it to find out.

There are just way too many factors affecting stabilization of lead projectile-powder,primer,lands/grooves of the bore,etc

If you have NOE 145Gr i would start with it.That long nose makes boolit fly very flat with not much of an efford.
I shoot it in M91 and m41 Carcanos and both like 11.1 Gr of 2400 in neck sized cases but that's 6.5x52 Carcano-yours shouldn't be that much different.

Also try different alloys-my rifles shoot much better with softer lead rather than WW alloy.
Have fun and Merry Christmas !
 
Well the 162 grain is longer and contacts the rifling more so I would guess it would
Does the amount of contact have a lot to do with accuracy even if it's only a couple thousands (I know it does but is it enough to make a differnce in accuracy between the 145 grain an 162 grain)
But when in doubt buy both ;)

Merry Christmas from my family to yours
