6mm br twist

If you had a choice what twist rate in a 6 br, would you use to shoot varmints and prairie dogs with
Rickey
 
I went with 1-10 twist Lilja for shooting 100-500 at varmints this twist is recommended by most manufactuers for 75-90 grain bullets,Vmax 75 & 87 grain / Berger 80 Grain ) work well. Good Luck
 
I've got two 1-8 twist barrels and so far I havn't found any bullet that they won't stabilize. I think the more important question would be what freebore/throat should you get??
I made it real easy on myself and sent dummy rounds to have the second chamber throated to. Got one with a short throat to shoot lighter bullets and one longer to handle the heavier bullets. Shilen and Pac Nor will throat to the length "you" want. I bet any other barrel maker would do the same thing for you.
