[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 369827, member: 13833"] I have been told that the main advantage to a gain twist comes from imperfect (non uniform) twist process. i.e. a little faster at the muzzle is much better than a little slower. If the twist is perfect all the way through the bore, there is probably nothing to be gained by a gain twist as far as accuracy goes. There MAY be some minimal gain to velocity by starting slower as pressures may not build as fast but the gain is so negligible that it is probably not worthwhile. Talk to Frank at Bartlein barrels. He is very knowledgeable and can probably answer all your questions. I think what he will probably say is the jury is still out.........Rich [/QUOTE]
