Don Miller's Twist Rule Caliber 0.284 Inches Bullet Weight 150 Grains Bullet Length 1.425 Inches Barrel Twist 9 Inches/turn muzzle velocity 2600 fps Temperature 80 degrees Fahrenheit (59 is standard) Pressure 29.92 inches of mercury (29.92 is standard) Sg = 1.51 Sg shouldn't be less than 1.4. If Sg is greater than about 2.0, you may gain some accuracy by going to a slower twist barrel.
