Barrel twist rate ?

[Distance shooter]

I am going to pick up another barrel for my AIAW in 338LM and was wandering if a 9.35 twist barrel would be to fast for 250 gr scenars. I have 1000 bullets and don't want to get a barrel that will not stabilize them. I know the faster twist is good for 300 grn bullets but will it be ok for 250gr. Any input is appreciated.

I have a Rock 9.4 on mine and it shoots the 250 Scenars & 300's just fine.

Thank you Cigarcop, personal experience with that twist is what I needed to know.

I'm sure you probably already know this but a 1-10tw is all you need to stabilize the 300's out to any distance you'll ever shoot. You can certainly go with the faster twist if you want but it isn't necessary.
