    what twist rate has more to do with bullet length than weight a long bullet like a vld will generally need a faster twist than a short stubby low bc bullet of the same weight to stabilize
    I have seen a 260 with a 1-9 twist run 130 vlds though with same hole accuracy was a match grade barrel though but at the end if the day your rifle might not like them period
    maybe the 123gn Amax could be a good one to try

    ive got a 1-8.5 twist barrel but ive only stot 6 rounds down the thing in the 6 months ive had it lol
