Twist rate for Hornady Match bullet.?

I'm looking for a new bullet to try. I have a Rem. 700, 243 sas. Doing real well with the V-Max.
The twist rate for this gun is 1-91/8. That's weird to me.. why not 1-9 or 1-10.
Anyway, that's not my question.
Does anyone know the recommended twist rate the Hornady's Match 105 GR. BTHP. A great C.O. .530.
 
At sea level, that combo is marginal, but it will probably work.

By the time you get to an elevation of 1000 ft, you have a much better chance.

By 3000 ft, it is practically guaranteed to work.

If I was building a new rifle to work at sea level on the coldest days with that bullet and moderate loads, I'd pick a 1 in 8" twist.
 
All good info guys, thank you. So no one knows the twist rate for this bullet ?
Hornady doesn't give twist rate on any of their bullets. I have shot the A-Max also and did pretty well. I believe the 105 Match BTHP is a new and improved A-Max giving it a much better C.O.
