[QUOTE="Trnelson, post: 1963935, member: 42308"] With a 9 twist you will likely be able to stabilize the 140 class bullets. You might see a slightly diminished ballistic coefficient. I used to shoot140g Berger VLD, 140g Nosler Accubond and Ballistic Tip from a 9 twist 264WIN for quite a few years. Inside of 500 yards everything worked very well with no discernible problems. At more extended range I had to reduce the BC to make the data match the actual point of impact. How often are you planning to actually shoot beyond 500? Maybe not an issue at all for you. Another very good bullet that I have had excellent results with is the130g Berger AR Hybrid. Stupid easy to load with. With Norma 217 I worked up from 66.0g from a 26” barrel 264Win I found pressure at 3,366fps. I backed off to just shy of 3,300fps. I haven’t had a chance to get that rifle on fur yet, maybe I finally reached enough rifles. I’ve taken a deer the last two seasons with the 130g Berger AR Hybrid with a suppressed 6.5 Grendel with excellent results. [/QUOTE]
