[QUOTE="Trnelson, post: 1621829, member: 42308"] I didn’t have any issues with the 130 berger AR hybrid and an 8 twist 264 win. If you are planning to shoot 130g and lighter bullets a 24” barrel will do fine. You’ll probably find a good load with either H4831sc or H1000 and get a complete burn. If you intend to shoot the 140g bullets a 26” barrel is as short as I would recommend as you will be wanting to start to utilize something in the similar burn rate as Retumbo. If you are planning to take advantage of the 150-160g bullets I would recommend a 28”, or longer barrel to allow you to fully utilize Retumbo or something even slower. I haven’t yet tried a 130g bullet yet with the 264 win I recently had built with an 8-7 transitional twist. I have no reason to believe there would be an issue with it. Honestly, as well as the 160 Matrix is shooting I am not inclined to even try anything else in that rifle. [/QUOTE]
