Re: Twist Rate For .338 Lapua
A 1-9 has been getting good results also with the lapua and becoming more popular. Have seen some new alum tipped bullets with very high bc and they work great.

Okay....I feel silly posting on the same thread as cut rifled and NotAGuru, I know their resumes....however, I'll throw in my 2 cents.
I've heard the 1-10 is better for getting a little more speed, 1-9.3 or 9.4 will let you stabilize a longer bullet like NAG is talking about. I've really thought hard about getting a gain twist barrel, starting 1-10 and ending about 9.2 or even 9 if possible.

1:10 is safe, and works with heavyer bullets too.

Re: Twist Rate For .338 Lapua
Digging through old threads, the comment about a "gain twist" barrel intrigues me.
I thought about it a few years ago and thought it would be really a neat idea but I couldn't think of an easy way to make it. Does anyone out there shoot them, how do they handle?
