If you don't have data for the rifle, how can you determine the twist in a barrel?

Well i put a cleaning rod in with a tight fitting patch and just get it started into the rifling then mark the cleaning rod with a spot near the handle and near where it is entering the chamber and when it makes one complete rotation
<br>I make another mark and then pull the rod out and measure between the two marks to see how far it went such as one turn in 10" I think it would be close enough.
<br>But I also have a speer book that gives the common twists used in factory rifles.

I'll try the cleaning rod method. My rifles are Savage Super Sporters mdl 40 & 45 Bolt actions made 1928 to 1941. Thanks.
