[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2648842, member: 87243"] If it's a factory barrel, it will be a 9 twist I believe. So, you won't be able to shoot the heavies or the longer monos well or with good terminal performance. For instance, for hammer bullets, you would have to use either the blunt 121 grain heavy hammer hunter, or the stubby 99 grain hammer hunter or lighter bullets. All bullets that hammer makes over 99 grains other than the 121 heavy hammer won't stabilize in your 9 twist. But either of those would get moving really fast from a .264, and depending on the ranges you want to use it at, may be optimal. Sub 500-600 yards is where these would shine. If you want to get the most range out of it or intend on taking game at extended distance, 500+, the 130 Berger ar hybrid, or the 129 accubond long range may be good options. Good powders will range from h4831sc to retumbo type burn rates. More info could help. What ranges do you plan on hunting, or normally harvest your game, what powders do you have available, etc. [/QUOTE]
