I have had my share of xbolts,infact I just purchased the xbolt 3D stainless stalker and worked up a couple loads with h 1000 and reloader 22,plus n560 with 160 accubonds,and the 162 eld x and I am not worried one bit on how the gun will shoot,put a new 30mm victory ht on it and it will shot fine,9.5 twist should handle those 160's like they were tailor made for it.
I have another xbolt in 7mm rem plus and an abolt 270 that shoots great.I
I start my loads low and work my way up,somtimes I get better velocity than I expected with good accuracy and sometimes the sweet spot is 50 feet slower than I wanted,but that's the price you pay if you want good accuracy.
Some guys think that max load is what is need out of there rifle so that's where they start when reloading and that is the start of there problems,not the xbolt.
