I took Obermeyer's recommendation and bought a 1-8.75 twist barrel from him. It stabilizes the 142 grain bullets from Sierra/Nosler that I have used just fine in my 260 Remington. The barrel is about 27 inches long, and I get higher velocity than I expected from the round without any pressure signs, and while staying well below published maximum charges. I think I just got a fast barrel. In any case, Boots is right about that twist rate working...it does very well in my rifle.
Rifle is:
Defiance Machine Defender Action
Obermeyer barrel
Manners stock
Badger bottom metal
Accuracy International magazine system
It shoots great!
