[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1988822, member: 30671"] Plenty of online tools to assist with calculating twist rates. Custom barrels are readily ordered in most twist rates. Increased twist rates don't harm bullets (mono's), as an example the 6.5, 124 Hammer Hunter is stable in a 1-8" twist, I'm shooting it a 1-6" twist without issues. Other examples up and down the line to support this. I'm currently shooting the 124 Hammer Hunter at 3960 fps, without seeing the effects you're curious about. Barrel life is relative, and should be qualified by purpose. A rifle intended to competitively shoot 10 round groups, or a volume oriented varmint rifle with 500-1000 round days, will suffer long before a big game rifle is no longer useable. [/QUOTE]
