[QUOTE="AaronSkipDavidson, post: 2351653, member: 6373"] When we were into this stuff, use a program to calculate velocity at impact for test distance, or specific test velocity. For simulated test distance of say 50 yards, use the same program to solve the required muzzle velocity. Use the previous equations to solve for twist rate required to create the correct rotational speed at the simulated test distance. Order the barrel, load the ammo to the correct mv. And shoot! After doing a bunch of this, I decided I would rather test in the field. [/QUOTE]
