[QUOTE="Tumbleweed, post: 771899, member: 9281"] Hi guys, could use some of your experience on the question of rifling twist rate for an upcoming build that I am preparing for. It is a 300 RUM using only the 230 Hybrid Targets and a 31" Broughten 5C heavy palma barrel. Tim North of Broughten recommended I go with a 9 twist for better stability out to extreme distances. I will use this out to a mile possibly. Also, I am at sea level and the highest altitude at which I would need to use the rifle in hunting situations would be about 3,000 feet. I understand that a 10 twist should stabilize the 230's fine and I know that a little much twist shouldn't hurt anything. My main concern is will "too much" twist cause me to lose velocity? I designed a unique chamber for this and with the long barrel I am trying to set this up for maximum velocity. Thanks [/QUOTE]
