I have an older Remington VLS .260. It has been a while since I measured it but I think it is a 10 twist. It shoots 120 Sierra SMK's and Hornady AMax's very well but scatters all of the 140's I have ever tried. It does not like the 100's or 85"s very well either. The 120's will shoot under an inch at 200. Have only shot paper with it.
