I've always run an 8 in the past but current build will have a 9 twist cause that what it came with. I've been thinking about dabbling in stretching the range a bit and wondered if anyone has history with a 9 and some of the match bullets on the market.

I have a 260 Rem with a 9 twist. It will stabilize everything I have tried except the 142 SMK and the 140 VLD bullets. 140 partitions and interloks work fine. Most accurate bullet is a 108 Lapua in that rifle.
Basically same velocity as the Swede

It should stabalize your midrange weights of bullets the best as I have a 6.5-06 twisted 1:10 and it likes the 100 gr weight range the best and the swedes twisted their 6.5x55 rifles in at 7.87:1 as they are best suited to the 156 gr bullet so I would surely think 1:9 twist would best stabalize the 120-130gr bullet range,put the rubber where it meets the road is the only sure way tofind out...........

I would go with the 130 JLK or 130 Bergers.
