What is the best twist for a 24" WSM Barrel? I am putting a new tube on mine and wanted some imput.

Do you know what weight bullets you want to shoot? What's the heaviest you'll shoot, that will dictate the best twist?

1-10" does it all.

Call the barrel manufacturer whose barrel you plan to use and ask them.Rick.

My Sako 85 Finnlight has a 1-11" twist. I wasn't excited about that but it is accurate enough to suit me with bullet weights down to 150 gr., which produce 5/8" 6 shot groups. I assume Sako uses this twist due to their affinity for heavier weight bullets.

Like Brad said, "1-10" does it all". Mine has a 1 in 12 so I'm limited to lighter bullet weights (up to 200 gr's). I'd go 1 in 10 if I had a choice......
