[QUOTE="Hard rock, post: 2695503, member: 116620"] 1-9 twist was what most factory 6.5 barrels where 1-8 twist made the Creedmore famous . With all the new heavy for caliber and mono bullets you would be going backwards with a 1-9 twist because of the heavier and mono bullets needing a faster twist to stabilize . If you want to salvage that old 1-9 twist you might consider setting it back and rechambering, the throat is probably shot out and the rifling may be ok .I would have it rebarreld instead of rebored too a faster twist It would be more cost effective and you will have what a 264 win mag should have been from the beginning .
