This video investigates an accuracy problem with a Browning XBolt 2 in 6.5 PRC, identifying a 1:7 twist rate as a potential cause for keyholing and poor performance with certain ammunition. The investigation involved testing the twist rate, examining the barrel, and consulting with ammunition manufacturers. The conclusion suggests a combination of an overly fast twist rate and ammunition construction issues led to the observed problems.

This review of the Browning XBolt 2 highlights its popularity among hunters but reveals significant accuracy issues with several ammunition types. While the rifle's feeding mechanism and build quality are praised, the inconsistent performance, particularly the keyholing observed with Remington ammunition and the potentially problematic 1:7 twist rate for 6.5 PRC, raises concerns. The Athlon Aries HLR 4-20x50 scope is noted for its excellent turrets and clear glass, though it's a second focal plane model.
