[QUOTE="robotman, post: 432890, member: 24038"] BOB, When I am looking for info like you are asking for I go to Midway and look at Berger bullet specs for twist. The 130s are 1-9 and the 140s are 1-8. Speed makes a difference of course but 140 is probably not the best weight for that twist. [url=http://kwk.us/twist.html]Barrel Twist Calculator[/url] Go to that site and play with some numbers and you will see what you are up against. Also, [url=http://data.hodgdon.com/cartridge_load.asp]Cartridge Loads - Hodgdon Reloading Data Center - data.hodgdon.com[/url] Go here to kinda see what is possible with the 260 REM... I would get the gun if is a good deal! Just shoot 130s and see how it does. Shoot moly bullets to break it in. Use the clean after every shot for 20 and after 5 for 3 times and you should be good to go. Remember, it takes about 5 rounds to re-coat the barrel with moly after cleaning... [/QUOTE]
