6.5x284 Rate of Twist 1:8

[missloumudcat]

Is this twist rate for this caliber adequate for 125 grain bullets? I am purchasing an action with a Hart barrel that has a 8tw and I would like to shoot 125 partitions. I did not know if this may be too light. the gun will be for hunting.

thanks - Jim

That twist rate should handle anything up through the 142 grain bullets.
