[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1364505, member: 12995"] No, you got it backwards... It starts slower, then ends faster. Say you wanted a 9 twist for your final twist. Your starting twist at the chamber end would be a 10 or 11 twist, and it would gradually tighten up to a 9 twist towards the muzzle. The faster your twist rate, the more pressure it creates in your bore...Which is why you put the slower twist rates at the beginning (to help keep pressures lower), and the faster ones at the end.
