[QUOTE="Twodogs10mm, post: 676471, member: 41190"] Hey, there are a lot of very knowledgeable and experienced guys with great information on this forum. I was thinking of starting a separate thread, but I think my question will fit in here. Rich, your 6.5 Sherman is a very impressive cartridge and I see you went with Lilja 3 grove 8 twist barrel. My question is twist rate? Lilja's web site shows a twist rate of 9 for 140gr bullets and Shilen's web site shows 9 twist for 130 gr and 8 twist for 140gr. Since your 6.5 Sherman is shooting at high velocities do you think a 9 twist would still stabilize the 140 gr bullets and possibly allow for even greater velocity and accuracy? I am just starting a 6.5 build and I am trying to chose a barrel to order. [/QUOTE]
