[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2525475, member: 27307"] Here are the original models and twist rates for factory rifle and the .264 Win. Mag: [ATTACH type="full"]364458[/ATTACH] Generally speaking, the bullets available at the time were all cup and core so by comparison to the now modern solids, they were shorter so twist rates usually fell into the 1:9" category. This holds true today with the exception of those solids which several companies are producing by lathe turning. These are long for caliber so they require a faster twist rate for stability. 1:8", 1:7.5", 1:7". Sticking with the lighter bullets, the Badlands 125 and the Hammer Hunter 131 are similar, requiring that 1:7.5" twist rate. Given the currently popularity of heavy for caliber bullets being produced, this 1:7.5" twist rate will stabilize the Berger 156 Elite Hunter as well. If you are drawn to the traditional cup and core bullets then that original 1:9" will suit your needs quite well using the lighter bullets limited in range as you state. Enjoy! [/QUOTE]
