twist question 6.5 130/135

The faster twist rates will net slightly higher BC's even if SG's are all over 1.4. I've run tests over the AB doppler using the same lot of 105 hybrids, with 7, 7.5, and 8 twist barrels. Same manufacturer (bartlein). If I recall correctly, 8T averaged 273 g7, 7.5T was 280 g7, and 7T was 286 g7. About a 5% gain from 8T to 7T.

Crazy I know, but I always go with the fastest twist I can now to maximize BC. This may be useless if not shooting long range, but assuming you are, there is a small but measurable advantage.
