1:9.5" will do great for the weights you mentioned. Actually works great from 120-175 gr.

I had one built with a 9.5 twist and couldnt get bullets under 160 to group worth a damn. it loved 160 grain accubonds. if i were to do it again shooting the bullet weights mentioned, i would go with a 1in10 and have the length finished at 28 inches. good luck!
