[QUOTE="Donald, post: 1389393, member: 5934"] You might take a look at this sight. [url]http://www.uslink.com/~tom1/twistrate.htm[/url] The length of the barrel has nothing to do with stability other than the velocity you get out of it. Decide what bullet you want to shoot and select the twist rate for that bullet. There is no "do all" twist for best accuracy. The length of the bullet has more to do with what twist you need more than the weight. Now that we have all copper bullets and some with steel cores that are lighter than lead cores. A 9 twist will probably come closer to shooting anything you need other that when you get past 69 grains. [/QUOTE]
