Other bullet diameters will work but if you seek perfection 6.5mm/.264 is the answer you seek.

It's simply science. wink

Seems to me ROT is more important than 6.5 (.264 )
Thé 264 WM had everything EXCEPT the right twist.
No ?

Not sure of your question.
The discussion was bullet diameter and my .264Win Mag has an 8 twist.


Let me state it another way.

Why was the 6.5/264 an "also ran" OR not as successful BEFORE faster twists?
When did 264s first get 8 rot ?

OR to make a statement and not a ?

The faster twist is what brought the 6.5/264 to where it is today.....IMO

Wasn't the ROT of the 1903 Manlicher a 1 in 7 3/8"- or am I mistaken? (Faulty memory banks, etc.) smile
