[QUOTE="TracySes23, post: 1401261, member: 52763"] The faster twist rate spins the bullet faster & if you're comparing a 16"-20" barrel & shooting .223 or 5.56 rounds against a 22-250 with a 1:8 twist and a 26 inch barrel it will spin a bullet about as fast as a 1:7 twist in a shorter 16-20 inch barrel shooting at a lower velocity. On top of that, the 26 inch barrel has the advantage of shooting flatter over the same yardage. Burns barrels up faster tho!:) I keep it cool by shooting at a rate of 1 shoot every 2-3 minutes.
