    Twist Rate for .308

    Hi all, I purchased an SPS Tactical with a 20" 1 in 12 twist a few months ago and while I love the gun so far it seems like every internet forum is completely swayed to the AAC-SD with the 1 in 10 twist. When I purchased it, I was under the impression that the 1 in 12 was the better of the...

    .308- 1:10 twist rate- are 150gr bullets hopeless?

    Getting my 308 rebarreled its an 18.5" 1:10 twist barrel. Most of my bullets are 150gr- what are the effects on twist rate. Is it a definite thing that 150gr bullets will suck as I hear these 1:10 are best with the heavier pills

    load for 1-9 twist AR

    I need a starting point for loads for an AR-15. It has a 20inch barrel with a 1-9 twist. I will be using this for shots out to 600 and do not want to single load. Yes I have read the .223 reloading section.

I'm having a hard time finding total length of available bullets to use any of the formulas i know, so i'm asking advice. I have a barely broken...

    75 a-max in a 1-9 twist?

    Anyone tried this with any success? I have a bunch left over from highpower shooting, but only ever used them in a 1-8 barrel.

    Barrel twist for 6.5 Grendel

    I am wondering what is the best barrel twist for the 123 grain lapua screnar? I was looking and have found 1/7.5 and 1/9 twists. I am hoping to change my AR-15 A-2 into a 6.5 Grendel SPR when funds become avail. So any help would be great.

    Gunsmithing Rock 338 Edge twist?

    I've been thinking about building an Edge as my next project and I see there may be another Rock group buy coming up. I was curious to know what twist you guys with a Rock barreled Edge are using. I will be getting a 30" tube and would like to shoot the 300gr SMK. Thanks for the info. Cinch

    Range Report Twist Rates

    It's been a while since I've posted, but the last few times I saw the issue of barrel twist rate come up there never seems to be included a discussion about atmospheric conditions as effecting bullet stability. But the fact is that whether a given bullet is stable upon exiting the barrel...

    .308 Win w/ 18" 1-10" twist barrel to 1,000 yards

    I have just acquired a 308 Win with a 18" 1-10" twist barrel with very few shots down the tube. I have been asked to set the rifle up shoot up to 1,000 yards. I shoot a variety of 6.5 mm rifles out to 1,000 yards but do not have a lot of experience with the .308 Win so please excuse my...

    Twist Rate for 100-1000 yds. Muzzle Crown?

    Hi guys I am interested in putting together a Remmy 700 .308 with a McMillian A4 stock. I shoot between 100 and 1000 yards most commonly. I am wondering what twist rate is best for those ranges. I know you can get 1-12, 1-11.25, 1-10 and stuff, I dont know what each is best for though. I don't...

    .243 twist ? Rem SPS Varmint

    I'm pondering the Remington SPS Varmint in a .243, which comes with a 26" 9 1/8" twist barrel. It seems like 1-8 is the way to go, but would the Rem factory barrel likely be O.K. with the 105/107gr range of bullets? Down the road I could always have a new barrel put on, but I'm thinking of the...

    185gr and 1/12 twist?

    Hello, I have a thousand or so Lapua 185gr D46 bullets. I was wondering if these would be accurate through a 24" 1/12 twist L-W barrel? I know longer bullets like faster twists and these things are pretty long. Here's a sample pic:

    Twist Q

    Okay guys, I'm going to add a .243 Win bbl to my Surgeon build. I've been told that 1/8 twist, 1/7.5 twist and a 1/7.8 twist is "ideal", only one answer can be accurate. Going to shoot the DTAC's exclusively, what twist do I want and why? Cheers, Rath

    Gunsmithing Twist rate for 110 gr 308?

    1 in 12? 1 in 14? Got a bunch of 110 gr Hornady TAP available. The faster twist barrels don't like it much. They are much happier with the 168 gr.

    Gain twist

    Ordering a gain twist barrel for the 338. Where to start and finish at is the discussion. I'm thinking 10 twist to start and 6 twist at the end. Should work well with the heavier long for caliber, lathe turned bullets. What are you guys thinking?

    6x47L what twist would you use??

I have a couple different 8 twist 6mm rifles so i was thinking about slowing down the twist so i could...

    75 grain A-Max in 9" twist

    I have an opportunity to acquire a quantity of 75 grain A-max bullets. Do you think they will stabilize in my 9" twist Remington? The charts I've seen indicate that they might be borderline. Thanks, Sherlok
