New here but I'm old and am on other forums. I love Nosler bullets and started reloading in 1959 for 30-06 and 7mm Wby mag.
I have a Kimber Mountain Ascent + Peak on the way in 7 Rem Mag. These have a 26" 1:9.5 twist rate. I want to shoot 175 ABLR for my NV elk hunt this November, but I'm a bit hesitant, since these have a relatively slow pitch. Launched at 2,925 FPS using Grand powder, which I find excellent in over-bore rounds and especially in my 6.5 PRC with 142 ABLRs, will the 9:5 pitch stabilize the 175 ABLR? Shots could exceed 400 yards.
I thank you in advance.

I edited my post. I mistakenly said the 7Mag would shoot 175 ABLRs at 3,100 fps. I meant to write 2,925 fps.
