twist

I'm trying to figure out what twist I should use for a .300 ultra mag build. Correct me if I'm wrong, but twist is not only based on bullet length/weight but also on velocity. If this is true, a 180 grain bullet from a .300 ultra mag at 3350 fps can get by with a slower twist than a 180 grain...

Ok, So I put a Lilja AR740 barrel on my AR... I did the 'ol load .5 grains under max and see how it operates with Hornady 68gr BTHP Match bullets, W748, and 556x45 NATO brass. It's the first time I've ever gotten 6 inch groups. It was BAD! REALLY bad... XM193A was good. Nosler 55gr BTBT...

I have a 16" heavy barrel 1in7 twist AR. It seems to hate the lighter bullets, I am planning on going to some 75gr Amaxs, anyone had good luck with these using varget. It will not group at all with 55gr Vmax factory ammo. Even Win White box 62gr shot like shit, no group could be seen with either...

i know the typical twist for .308 168gr FGGM is around a 1/11 1/11.25 with the FGGM 168gr .308 what should one expect from a 1/10 twist surgeon action 20" kreiger bbl any pro's or con's trying to take this one to 1000 yds iknow a heavier weight would be better say 190-200gr but...

Just got some Hornady 168 grain hpbt Amax. 1 in 12 twist is printed on the box. can somebody explain this to me. I'm shooting a 1 in 10 twist. What will be the results??????Thanks

I recently purchased a Savage LRPV in .223 with 7 twist barrel. I am having problems finding a powder that the gun likes. I have tried different powders, Varget, RL-15, TAC with no luck. Is there anyone shooting the 75 Amax with the 7 twist? If so (1) Do the 75's in said twist like fast or slow...

Looking for info from anyone who has used the 210gr Berger VLD in the .308? Ill be shooting the stock Savage 10FP with a 1-10 twist barrel. Doing some research the Berger site shows the reccomended twist rate for their bullets gets faster the heavier the bullets go. Im hoping to push the 210gr...

What good bullet chooses would work with a .243 with a 1/10" twist. I would like to shoot the 115 dtac's but I think the twist is to slow. What do you .243 shooters think? This will be a factory Winchester tube if that helps 24" long.

I am planning on building a long range .270 from the action on, starting with a Remington 700. What I am thinking is around a 1000 yard gun, or rather what i would like, either way. Any suggestions on barrel twist and bullet grain???

Hey gents- I'm fairly new to reloading and have been working primarily with .308 175 SMKs out of my 22" Broughton 1:12 twist bolt gun. I've been working up a load for my Remy with a 20" 1:10 twist and was wondering how if 155 Scenars would work? Is it worth doing for that quick of a twist...

I can't find anyone with 1:14 twist, all load data I find is for another twist. Does anyone have 1:14? If so what is your favorite load? My best loads have been: All Rem Brass, Fed Match Primers 40gr V-Max - 28gr H335 50gr V-Max - 27gr Varget 50gr Blitz - 28gr H335 52gr HPBT - 27gr Varget...

I just aquired a Rem 700 .223 w/ varmint profile 26" barrel and it has a 1/12 twist barrel. I zeroed it the other day w/ Hornady 55 grain (not match just bulk ammo) and it was shooting sub-moa @ 100 yards. If I attempt to move to a heavier load (I don't reload....not just yet, so it would have...

I'm putting together a rifle , using an AIC stock . I plan on using a 26" Rock Creek M-40 profile barrel . It will be threaded for the SWR OMEGA 300 muzzle can . My main load will be the Black Hills 190gr. Match , although I may handload . What's the best twist ? I've had conflicting opinions...

I have 500 SMK's in 77 grain .224 I bought for a 1/7 twist Ar I had. I guess there is no point in even trying to load them for my new Rem 5R Mil Spec Rem 700? Any of you guys loaded 77 grainers for a 1/9? Guess I should trade them for something more appropriate.

Is the 1/10 prefered over the 1/12?

Anyone know what the best twist rate for a .338 Lapua with 300 grn. bullets is.

trying to see if a 208 a-max will stabilize out of a 1 in 12 twist 24" tube in a 300wsm or would I be wasting good ammo??? Also I would like to run it out to 1mi. thanks in advance hombre

I am building a 22-250AI with a 9 twist shilen barrel. Do you think i will be able to shoot 75gr a-max in this set up?
