6mmbr Barrel Twist Rate

Shynloco

You can lead a horse to water, but ........
Guys,
I will be having a 6mmbr barrel put on a Remington 700 SA Benchrest Rifle. I have been shooting 100 yd using 68gr bullets with extremely tight groups out of a Match Krieger 1:13.5 Savage Model 12 BR. But I'm switching over to the Remington 700 that I have because of the better stock and the Match Trigger on the Remington is far better than the RIfle Basics Sav 2 that's "ok" at best, but nothing to write home about. My question, should I stick with the 1:13.5 or go to 1:14 as I'm sticking with the 68's that I've had great success with using the Savage Mod 12? Any input would be appreciated.

FWIW, I won the 2019 UBR Nationals shooting 68's in a 12 twist 6 Grendel. You're splitting a mighty fine hair.
 
I don't know about it being a game changer but I like it a lot and it's been good to me.
I can shoot 80s at 3400, too. Again, a load at the very high end. Work up in your rifle. Either load may be too hot in some guns.
I have a 6MM BR 1 n 8 twist. I probably couldn't run them that fast.
Wow, 80's at 3400. What powder are you using?
