So I am turning my barrel with a 1-12 twist for 50gr to 63gr. You guys think that this is a good choice. I am not going heavier.

According to Shilen chart the 1-9 is best if your going up to 68gr. Regards

I've answered my question. My twist rate is going to remain at 1-12 with a 24 inch barrel. I will be shooting up to 63gr, but primarily 55gr.

Folks, I'm having a 220 Swift built. My idea is to have a 1-12 twist in a 24 inch barrel, shooting 50 to 60gr bullets. My question is that twist OK for the grain weight, and is the barrel length OK or would a 26 inch barrel be more accurate. OR should I go for a 1-9 twist to handle 50 to 65 gr...

Thanks. It's in the wrong area.
