By far, the majority of 6.5 bullets (even long pointy ones like Bergers) will be optimally stabilized by the 8 twist or slower. I’ve had at least 10 eight twist barrels and only one 8.5. Never had a stabilization issue with any of them. If you are planning on shooting copper solids, it would be a good idea to check for the recommended twist given that copper is lighter by volume than lead core...so may be longer in equal weight bullets.
