.260 Remington 1:8.5" 142 Matchking?

[golfnutrlv]

So....

Will a Krieger 1:8.5" twist 27" barrel stabilize a 142 Gr Matchking in .260 Remington?

Doing the basic math in my head, I think it will.

Thoughts???

Thanks,

Stick with the standard 1-8. A 142 Sierra is a mighty long bullet.

Yes, my 1/8 twist 26in tube stabilizes them just fine. .5 will not make a difference.

I've shot 140 grn Federal's in my 1-9 Remington with excellent results.
