6.5 creedmoor question

[komifornian]

Will a 8.5 twist barrel stabilize a 140 grain bullet? And if not what would be the heaviest I could go with this twist rate?

Im pretty sure ALOT of guys are running the 8.5 twist and 140's and having great results. I am building one with a Rock 1-8 twist. You will be fine with that twist and 140gr pills.

Thanks, I appreciate your help!

No problem and good luck on the build! Post pics up when you get it done.

You'll be fine with that twist for 139-142gr bullets as long as it isn't a super short barrel.
