twist

I will be shooting 250 and 300 grainers and would like to know what you have found as a good starting point like either RL 25 or Retumbo grains for the 250 and the 300 also the seating depth like .101 off " jump" or otherwise Appreciate the help getting the rifle next week and would like to...

Do I need a 7.5 or 8 twist to fully stabilize these at this speed?Any one doing this? Steve

Thanks

I have acquired a boat load of .244 varmint/hunting bullets in the 70-85gr. range and am wondering if anyone has first hand experience in shooting them in a .243win that is setup with a 7.5" or 8" twist. I know that a fast twist is not ideal for this weight and overstability will occur but to...

I am putting together a 300WM and am wondering what is the best twist rate. I see 1-10 is the most common. I have a Rock 1-11 5R blank laying around and would like to use it. Would this be acceptable or would a 1-10 produce better results?

I was planning on shooting the 75 AMAX out of my rifle but have had a hard time finding bulk boxes. Does anyone have experience with the 80 grain AMAX out of a 8 twist 223 or 223 AI? I just want to make sure that velocity and stability are not limiting factors. I figure that 2750 would be be a...

I called brux barrels today to see if they had any 6mm barrels in stock. they had a HV 31" 6mm blank in a 8.5 twist. I took the barrel as i have been wanting to try them out. Now i am wondering what the heavies bullet i will be able to shoot I am going to chamber this blank for a 6mm dasher, and...

I am looking at getting more range out of my 26" barrel .308 remington 700. 1000+yards I shoot 168s and 175s now almost exclusively. I like the 175s but want to push the limits a bit more, especially with my long ass barrel. I have been eyeballing the 190 grainers, but was told my 1 in 12...

Before the search NAZI's say a word I did and came up empty . As for the rest much more helpful and pleasent members of this forum I just purchased a 243 DPMS upper that should be here by the weeks end. I've not loaded this cal for a gas gun and am heavy on bullets in the 66 to 87 grain area...

I have a question, It seems that either shooters are using a 11.5 or 8 twist barrel in their 375 chey tac rifles. It appears that all bullets made for the chey tac are solids; therefore, there is no core stripping occuring. What is the disadvantage of just going with an 8 twist?

Can anyone give me an idea of how much velocity I should expect to lose shooting the same load through a 16" 1:7 barrel as opposed to a 1:12 tube of the same length? I'm only getting 2650fps. from Sierra 55gr HPBTs over 26gr of W748 out of my Sig 556.

Hey all, I picked up a Pre-accutrigger savage 110 tactical in 300 win mag over the weekend. Rifle was in rough shape but is cleaning up well. I just wanted to know if anybody knew the twist in these. From what I can find they are 1-10" but not positive. I also need to get rid of this...

I don't know if I should go with a lighter bullet because of the shorter barrel. I really only have experience with nosler BT in my 22-250, but I am going to be reloading for my savage 10fp. So I was just getting some info about where I should start. I think I will use the same powder as I...

what has everone been using? I plan to run either the sierra or lapua 300gr bullets, with a AAC titan suppressor, your thoughts?

I've looked at the SAKO web site and downloaded the pdf document regarding "Old Models" but I can not find any information on the twist rate. Also googled lots of sites but I can't really get a definite answer. I've been told that its got 1 in 12 twist rate but others have said its 1 in 11...

Hi gang. Looking for load recommendations for a 1:7.5 twist .243 Win. barrel. This seems REALLY fast to me. My current .243 has a 1:10 barrel. Thanks,Stan

Has anyone experimented with the 105 AMAX or similiar bullet in a 1/10" twist .243 Win barrel at an elevation similar to Wichita, KS? Wichita, KS is right around 1300 feet above sea level. I am trading for an AI AW .243 barrel with a "regular" twist so I assume it is 1/10". What is the...
