[QUOTE="wstanton, post: 895438, member: 34672"] Hey Guy, welcome to the forum. In regards to your question about twist rates and barrels. There is no "better" or "worse" twist rate. It refers to how fast or how many RPMs the bullet is spun at, in order to keep it spinning like a football thrown by Peyton Manning. If the twist rate is too fast it has the potential to slow down the bullet/cause extra resistance, as well as make the bullet blow up because of too much twist. If you have too little twist, the bullet wont stabilize and will "keyhole" or will start to tumble sideways in the air; Kinda like trying to throw a football without spinning it....... The goal is to find the right twist rate for the bullet weights you fire from your gun. In a 300Win Mag a 1-10 twist would stabilize just about any bullet you could fire. Where-as a 1-2 twist would likely "blow-up" most bullets, And a 1-20 twist would only stabilize the lightest of bullets if any at all. Hope this helps!! [/QUOTE]
