From what I have had Experience with, 12 twist is what you need for those 300gr Plus gr bullets.

Going to put a 35 whelen barrel on my savage 116 30-06. What would be the best twist rate to shoot the heaviest bullets?

RUMs are like woman in Stiletto heals, you know they are going to put you in the poor house, but that has never stopped anyone from pursuing them.
Thanks Dean. Will check on some barrels!
If you had more case volume you could get away with a 14 twist, but with the Whelen's 60gr capacity the 12 twist is the most viable option.
