Well, Ruger and Remington riles in .35 Whelen have 1 in 16" twist barrels, at least mine do. My custom has a 1 in 14" twist barrel and it's quite accurate with bullets up to 250 gr.
My favorite load in the custom rifle is the 225 gr. Barnes TSX over 60.4 gr. of RL15.
The other rifles shoot a 250 gr. Hornady or Speer bullet over 53.0 gr. of H335. (CAUTION: These are max loads in my rifles.)
I haven't seen the need for any bullets heavier than 250 gr. in my neck of the woods. None of the great bears anywhere near here.
