I have an unfired Colt HBAR A3 and have a question in regards to its twist rate. It has a 9 twist rate but the barrel length is 24” long.
Does the extra length add spin rate over a 9 twist barrel say 16 inches? This is assuming higher bullet velocities increase spin rate.
And if yes what is the heaviest bullet I can put in there and maintain stable spin out to 1000 yards? I‘m looking to get the highest BC out of my ammo that one day I hope to build a load to. Tnx.
