[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 779721, member: 4809"] Never heard of belanger barrels. The "accelerated twist" or "gain twist" is something that has been around for a long time. I own my grandpa's custom 270 that he had built in the 1950's. Growing up in AZ, he got to know Jack O'Conner - a great champion of the .270. I remember my grandpa telling me about the custom barrel on that .270 and how the accelerated twist held near magical powers. Many myths surrounding the special powers of the gain twist barrel have been debunked today, but one advantage does seem/appear to be true: because the twist starts out slower, less pressure is built up in the throat area of the barrel. This usually means longer barrel life. Many shooters still claim that gain-twist barrels are "faster". One barrel maker that manufactures gain-twist barrels is Rock Creek - and their barrels do have a reputation for being fast. [/QUOTE]
