[QUOTE="SamuelBerryhill308, post: 2704434, member: 114287"] I was wondering what barrel makers and rifle makers barrel twist are really the twist rate that they are supposed to be l I guess this would be more towards factory rifles because I've never heard of a barrel blank maker messing up barrel twist rates but I guess it could happen.im asking this and I was looking at trying some heavier weight bullets and wanted to make sure the rifles I have would stabilize them so I check twist rate on my rifles with a cleaning rod and nylon brush and my christensen arms 300 win mag is 1/10.75 not 1/10 my winchester model 70 coyote light is 1/12.50 not 1/12 and my remington 700 sps tatical is 1/12.50 not 1/10 like is supposed to be.does these numbers sound normal? Now I'm thinking about rebarreling my remington even though it shoots well even with 175s but I'd like to try some heavy per caliber in it and I've got it set up for longer range stuff and would like to shoot heavier than 175s in it but I guess that idea is gone.i already bought a bunch of 210 vlds I guess I'll try them and see what happens. I guess ot comes down to what factory rifle brands barrels are what they say they should be? [/QUOTE]
