[QUOTE="Gunpoor, post: 890910, member: 8358"] The M70 "Westerner" in 264WM came with a 1/9" rate of twist barrel and therefore may have to be pushed pretty hard to get fast enough spin to stabilize 140 grain cup and core bullets, at least making them fairly accurate. I had an FN Mauser action and had a Shilen barrel installed and chambered in 264WM that had the 1/9" ROT and it had trouble with the 140 grain bullets but have had others say their 264 with this twist ran them just fine. My rifle had no trouble with bullets in the 129-130 grain weight. As was stated earlier, the 264WM likes the slowest of propellants. I used H1000 in mine with good results. [/QUOTE]
