[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 481165, member: 4809"] Lilja barrel's website has a chart you can use. Just match up the caliber with the weight of bullet you intend to use and the table will give you the recommended twist. here is the link: [url=http://www.riflebarrels.com/products/caliber_twist_rates.htm]Lilja Precision Rifle Barrels - Caliber and Twist Rates[/url] Just keep in mind that these are general recomendations. Speed can compensate somewhat for a slower twist. For example, a .308 Win with a 1-in-11 twist would probably not be able to stabilize a 200 gr. bullet. But a 300 RUM with the same twist would be able to stabilize that same bullet because it is pushing it about 400-500 fps faster. [/QUOTE]
