OP bkelectricinc Campfire Greenhorn B Joined: Nov 2011 Posts: 57 Northwest Arkansas	Please educate me on understanding twist rates for a known bullet! I want to build a hunting rifle. Most likely in .30 caliber. After looking a bbl's i am completely confused on whats needed!I know there are many variables, however I am looking for a "rule of thumb" a twist rate needed to stabilize a certain length/weight bullet. If this formula/chart even exists! Thanks In Advance! B King "Shoot Low Sheriff; he's ridin a shetlend"
