[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 721881, member: 22069"] I know that some have reportedly had problems stabilizing 140g Bergers with a 9 twist, but it hasn't happened to me. My 6.5x55 with a 9 twist Shilen stabilized the 140 Bergers with no issues and shoots them very accurately. Even at the starting load, going pretty slow, it was shooting ragged hole three shot groups with no signs of bullet instability. Of course, rifles and barrels are individuals, but if my Swede can go slow and stabilize a 140 Berger, odds favor your .264WM being able to do it IMO. FWIW, I have a 9 twist .264WM, too. I plan to shoot 140g AMAX's in it, but haven't gotten that far with load development. So far, the seating depth tests have shown it to really like 140g Nosler Partitions. That will take care of the close stuff. If it shoots the AMAX's anywhere near as well as the partitions, I will be very happy. [/QUOTE]
