[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 270546, member: 12443"] you can check the twist yourself with a cleaning rod. put a brush on a rod, then put masking tape on the rod and scribe a line down the rod parralel with it. shove the rod into the barrel, mark the tape where it lines up with the rear of the action, with the parralel line in the up position, then push the rod into the barrel untill it rotates one turn, and line is in up position mark again at rear of action, remove rod and measure between the two marks along the parralel line. if for example its 9", you have a 1in 9 twist. as a general rule a faster twist will allow for heavier bullets [/QUOTE]
