[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2794030, member: 10755"] Because you have the choice, go 1:8” twist. I have factory 6.5’s with 1:9” twist, they top out with 140/142g pills. My customs, 6.5x47, a few 264WM’s and a 6.5-284 all have 1:8” twist. Now, I had a Mauser ‘96 made by Carl Gustav that had a 4 groove 1:7” twist military barrel on it and it was chambered in 6.5x55 Swede, OMG, that rifle was so accurate it was phenomenal for a military piece. If you’re going to be shooting the heavies, a 1:7” twist is also a great option, and it will not affect the lighter bullets accuracy, as there is no such thing as “over spinning” a bullet. Cheers.
