7.25" twist. Currently using H-1000, but I did try R-26.

I remember Ross Seyfried making a 6mm-264 and having an issue with a hard carbon like substance building up on the first barrel due to not cleaning it every dozen rounds or so. IIRC he had to throw away that first barrel.

While I haven't stretched this one too far, I have no problem running a bunch of rounds between cleanings. I do shoot moly plated bullets, but don't have any problems keeping this one clean with my normal routine of Bore Tech Eliminator and a little JB every time. I have a Hawkeye borescope, so I know what works.

You have created a true velocity monster with incredible downrange performance! Almost a ton of energy at 500 yds with wind drift 8.1" at same distance in 10 mph crosswind! (4000 ft)

I've had two or three 6-284's with 8 twists in the past, so I knew what I was getting into.
