A lot of good/bad info here based on WHAT????
Anyone ever think that whoever is doing the "twist rate check" is screwing up???? Just because a gunsmith does it doesn't really mean doodly.
HOW many of you have actually PRODUCED a barrel or seen it done...IN THE FLESH and not just looked online and RE-PETED what they read.
Ever think that gun makers might buy barrels by the TON with SPECIFIC tolerances that include variances otherwise a relatively cheap rifle would cost more than the Gross National Product if it were "PERFECT"
I've "tested/checked" the twist rates on MANY barrels and came up with several DIFFERENT numbers on the same barrel...all that means is the rod/handle bearings or "tight plug" just SLIPPED OR DIDN'T FOLLOW the little twirly's precisely.
Sometime I can't believe some of the "stuff" that purports to be "FACT" on some forums and "apples vs monkeys" doesn't even approach this mess.
And WHAT IS THE PROBLEM???? Barrel makers know what twist rates work best for the various calibers AND that twist rate is a COMPROMISE to cover SEVERAL BULLET WEIGHTS so Ya'll don't have to use ONE specific bullet nose profile, bullet length and bullet construction.
Ya'll have to get real here and look beyond the obvious because the obvious isn't really "OBVIOUS".
Good shooting.
