[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2409256, member: 30902"] Maybe they needed faster twist rates to properly stabilize the chosen bullet? My first .260 was Custom built AR. 1:9 was what all of them were being built on at the time and I was encouraged to go with a 1:8.5 if I intended to shoot 140gr pills. If I built another 6.5, or I should say when, it will be a 1:8 so I can shoot heavier mono's, maybe even 1:7.5. 100-120gr spire point type bullets is what the 6.5's were chambered and barreled for, for most of a century.
