[QUOTE="6.5BR, post: 1012724, member: 9118"] Never cease to be amazed at how SKEERED folks are about twist. 8 and do not look back. NEVER seen a downside to spinning too fast. If you are not running Mach 5 you are not worried about blowing up bullets. If you are not shooting Benchrest for score a few thousands in groups size is irrelevant. I've shot 1/4" groups at 200 yds with an 8 twist 6BR, with 66 and 105s. Spin was not "TOO FAST" I have had a few factory rifles that were LIMITED by 9 twist, some shot fine and others, actually a custom 6.5-308 (bbl mfg goofed, ordered an 8) - would not handle 140s. I ALWAYS go 8 twist on ALL 6mm and 6.5mm. YMMV. [/QUOTE]
