[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1311717, member: 2736"] Well, I have been following this thread waiting for the answer to the question and It has gotten off tract and so in my opinion, the answer is, It doesn't have an answer, just an opinion. There is nothing wrong with a 1 in 11 twist in a 30/06,Also there is nothing wrong with a 1 in 10 twist, and in certain applications, there is nothing wrong with other twist for the 30/06 depending on need and use. It all boils down to what you want based on bullet weight, game hunted, velocity, bullet design, barrel length, Barrel contour, and other variables. There is no one perfect twist rate. there are ideal twist rates for all around use and this is the reason most barrel makers offer there barrel in different twist rates for the same caliber. Just because I happen to like a particular twist rate for a caliber doesn't mean that for a different cartridge in the same caliber I won't chose a different twist rate. I have 4 different rifles. in 3 different cartridges, with 4 different twist rates in .224 Dia.(1 in 8, 1 in 9, 1 in 12 and 1 in 15) and they all shoot less than 1/4 MOA. People pick different twist rates based on there needs. so if someone doesn't like or agree that another twist rate has a place for a particular cartridge, they don't have to buy a rifle/barrel with that rate. Barrel/rifle makers have many reasons for choosing the twist rate for there products and have to live with there decision. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
