[QUOTE="doc136, post: 34201, member: 2699"] Oh yeah, the other half of the question.....I would use the 1:8" or 1:9" depending on which weight bullets you want to shoot. One could even go to 1:10" if they really wanted to. I have seen some load data on this one guy who built a 6.5 stw for the 100 grain bullets only. He used 1:14". He shot some 107 Match Kings and they key holed. 1:14" is probably not fast enough for most of us. I would probably stick with the 1:10" and faster. If you want to be able to shoot the 160 grain bullets, maybe 1:8" might be more ideal. The load data that I stated was with a twist of 1:9". Hope this clears up some questions. If you need specific load data help, let me know! [/QUOTE]
