My older Stevens is 11.5" twist, but I will have another soon with 9.5 for heavier bullets, and probably a .280 in 9.5" twist to go along with it.
9.5 is pretty standard. I think a 9 twist is a good idea for those who are going to play with the longer bullets but if you get into some of the 175-180's and some long copper ones then the 1:8 is a must
that is what I did with the last one and the AR but otherwise not really needed. It is more like a curiosity and while I might use it a bit I could do as well with the 9 twist.
This is one of the reasons for me...
