260 Rem & Twist Rate
The local gun shop has a Browning a-bolt stalker in 260 rem that's been sitting on the shelf for about 2yrs now and i'm considering buying it but i have a couple questions i was hoping you guys could help me with. Most of the 260 rems i've seen or read about has a 1-9 rate of twist. The shop guy couldn't tell me what this one had so i called browning and they said the rate of twist in this particular rifle was 1-10. Will the 1-10 twist be a good rate of twist for the 120-130gr bullets which is what i would want to shoot from this gun? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You! Mike

RE: 260 Rem & Twist Rate
The 1 in 10 twist should work for you depending on what bullet you are going to shoot. Rember that the 260 is a 6.5mm bullet which are long bullets to start with . If you go to hevier bullets or copper bullets like the barns X they might require the faster twist rate . I shoot alot of 264win mag and it has the 1in 9 twist which works awsome with 140gr bullets... Hope this helps you...
