[QUOTE="tdking, post: 111329, member: 1162"] Any twist from 1 in 9" to 1 in 7" will shoot fine with any bullet weight from 35 grains up to 70 grains. If you ever want to shoot heavier bullets you will need a 1 in 8" twist or faster. Some people think the accuracy with light bullets suffers with faster twists. I know too many good shooters who can shoot 1/2" groups with any weight bullet from a 1 in 7" twist barrel to believe that. The faster twist will only be less accurate if you are shooting a benchrest accurate gun (sub 1/5 MOA). Theron [/QUOTE]
