A few years ago Savage changed their 7mm-08 barrels to a 11.5" twist rate which pretty much assured they wouldn't stabilize anything heavier than 140 gr. No one ever seemed to figure out what they were thinking, including Savage's own customer service reps.

After a couple of years the went back to the much more versatile, and common, 9.5" twist rate.

I'm pretty sure they never changed the 7 mm Rem Mag twist.
