I have a question about twist rates!

[Konocti's Wigwam]

I will add that you don't want to overstabilize bullets by having too fast a twist

I don't think it matters too much, it's not like 1:5 used on 300 blackout, or 1:3 used on 8.6 blackout. The twist has more to do with the projectile you use.

I just received a 12" Faxon 6.5 Grendel barrel with 1:8 twist. I plan to shoot 100-120 grain projectiles. If I wanted to shoot heavier bullets I would look for a 1:7.5 or 1:7 twist barrel. I don't see a reason to do so, however. If I need heavier bullets I'll use 8.6 blackout.
