[QUOTE="NEMTHunter, post: 1459733, member: 77631"] That is a good question. Some of it has to do with what bullet you plan to shoot. I lead core bullet most cases I have been told will not do good with a fast gain twist barrel but its fine with solid bullets. Mine is only going from 1:8.25 at the breach to 1:7.5 at muzzle. The barre is 32" finish length. Mine is considered a mild gain twist. There is no set average gain twist that I know of. They make them to order by what the customer wants. I hope you are right. This barrel should see a lot of speed. Hoping to get the 198 flat lines to around 3600 or more for ELR work and the 230s around 3300 fps for hunting. Then use the 245 berger when it comes out. I am very interested to see how it works as well. I am interested to see if copper fouling is worse with the gain twist. [/QUOTE]
