Default Rate of twist??

Barnes sent me the reloading data for the .270WSM. I told them I have a Savage 16FCSS and was looking to reload the 140 gr TSX. They said that they recommend around 110gr TSXs for 1 in 11" twist barrels. 140gr TSX bullets might not stabalize in my barrel.

Can anyone explain this to me? Is that just the TSX? Is that due to the length of them, or what? I shot 130gr and 140 gr factory loads and they were fine.

I want to use a sturdy bullet like the TSX and be able to use the .270 WSM for deer, elk, moose and black bear.

Any comments????
