[QUOTE="RevJim, post: 1230588, member: 86754"] Back in 2007 I was given a custom rifle in 338 RUM. It had a gain twist...it went from almost nothing to 1 in 10, if I remember right. anyhow, it had a 25 inch barrel and I only shot the Nosler 180AB, but I got it to a safe 3500fps. It was accurate, and super flat shooting ( [EMAIL="+2@100"]+2@100[/EMAIL] and only -5"@400yds ( at 4000ft altitude) I killed a big aoudad with it at 250yds at almost 3000ft. ( not that it mattered) the barrel was made by a "now defunct" company out of Kallispell, MT is all I know. Some say they are not worth it. I know that historically artillery has experimented with gain twists, but I know of no country that uses it in my lifetime. so...just get a standard for the twist you really need for the weight/length you will be using, but have a ball doing it!
