What is suggested twist for a chrome moly 26" barrel for either a 264 win mag or nosler 26, maybe 0.6" at muzzle? The barrel would see 140 gr PT/AB mostly, no smaller than the 130 AB. My Savage 260 uses 1:8 twist and I only shoot 140gr.

I have a 264 WinMag 26" 10 twist and there is nothing, I can't shoot that is available in that caliber, It is even more accurate than my 260AI.

My 264's have 30-inch or longer barrels with 8-inch or faster twist.
Work OK.

Just checked, the barrel maker offers their 6.5's in 8, 8.5, and 9. Guess that means "overspinning" 140 gr is unlikely with 8 or 8.5.

I can send 140s 3300+fps that's why I went with the 10 twist, and if you are so inclined 85gr sierra HP @ 4300+fps what more could you ask for.

I'm planning out my .264Win build now, from the reading I have done it seems like a 1-9" will stabilize even a 160gr at the speeds you get from a .264WM.
