[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1029228, member: 2736"] Good advice. But ultimately the choice is up to you. Your smith should explain why he recommends a certain twist so that at least you are aware of the potential problems with your choice. Some think a fast twist will shoot everything well. (Not So). If you build for one bullet you may find that the bullet will not shoot, then you are up the preverbal creek. Most Smiths will elect to use a twist that will shoot everything (All bullet weights) so the owner is not limited to what he can shoot "OR" what the rifle/barrel likes Based on there experience and comments from his rifle owners. If a smith flat refuses to build it the way you want it,he has a reason. It can be the accuracy guarantee. (He ether knows it wont work, or can be dangerous) or is trying to get out of his guarantee. If it is the latter, RUN. He may not know everything, but he should have a feel for what works best and be able to explain the reason for his recommendation. Some bullet makers will make a recommendation based on there bullet only with no consideration for other brands and weights of bullets. The barrel makers can help make recommendations for the best twist and number/style of grooves.
