[QUOTE="Savage 12BVSS, post: 1996346, member: 112413"] I have a 260 deer rifle that has a LW match barrel on it, light profile and 20". When they made the bbl. they asked me what weight bullets would be used and were told 130gr and 140gr only no heavier or lighter. They produced the bbl' with a 1-7.75" twist and I began to work up loads for it. With the light profile for weight reasons its only good for 3 shots and then a cooldown, load work is slow :) I have doubts about the fast twist with the 130's and have not gotten the accuracy I was hoping for. What say you? Would think it would be very much like the 6.5CM in ballistics and what works for twist rate. [/QUOTE]
