quick twist rate question for 6br

[joejo]

guys I have no experience with a 6br but am working on building one. I have read some conflicting material on twist rates. I would like to shoot bullets in the 85-100 grn weight and perhaps even 105's . would I just be best suited to run an 8 twist or will 10 be okay? I have read some places that 10 would be fine but I don't know. what does everyone here seem to prefer with these weights?
thanks joe

It is always better to err on the side of faster twist than what may be required. You will NOT need an 8 twist to stabilize 85gr bullets. However, ANY 105-108 NEEDS at least an 8 twist and a 7.5 may even be better. Will the 85+grainers shoot in a 7.5 or 8 twist>>OF COURSE they will! But will a 105 Hybrid or a 108 Berger B/T shoot in a 10 twist>>>the bullet will make it out the barrel, but try shooting it at 600 yards and tell me how they shoot in a 10 twist.

1 in 8 twist hammers good in a 6br with 105 gr bullets and will be stable out to 1000yds. It also shoots 80gr well at closer range.
