RE: .260 REM ?
My 6.5x55mm has a barrel w/ 1-7.5" twist..... good for long bullets. I have little experience w/ 120gr but I tried the 100gr..... my throat was a little long and would have had to seat the bullets out of the casing to get it close to the lands. You shouldn't have any problems w/ either.
