[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1591215, member: 10755"] The length does not govern what twist to use, it’s the length of the intended bullet(S) that govern the twist rate. I run 30” barrels in 300WM with 10” twists, haven’t found a bullet that won’t stabilise in it yet. A 1:9” twist is very fast for a 30 cal, but many will come on board toting the 9” to be the optimum for real heavy bullets. IMHO, the 300WM just can’t push 230-245gr bullets fast enough to justify their use or the faster twists. Just my opinion after 31 years of shooting 300WM’s in various forms and disciplines. Cheers.
