[QUOTE="CONatureBoy, post: 2201192, member: 118769"] The SAAMI-standard twist rate is 1:9": [ATTACH type="full"]275172[/ATTACH] I believe that's been true since the cartridge was standardized. The twist rate was chosen to match 140-grain bullets. Heavier bullets (e.g. the Berger 156-grain EOL) require faster twist rates (1:8" or 1:7.5"). I haven't heard about factory rifles having those twist rates (yet). IMO that's why many folks don't consider the 264 Win Mag when shopping for a "modern" 6.5. . . . [/QUOTE]
