The Accurate Rifle - How to Determine the Rate of Twist in a Rifle Barrel

[1LonePuma]

Now that was the best explanation I've seen, makes total sense! Now, we'd like to see why some calibers require more or less twists and advantages in either.

Thanks Larry Potterfield

Neat:)

Larry said something that isn't correct. He said different weights requires different rates of twist. It's not the weight that is important but rather the length. Because most bullets are mainly lead Larry can get away with that statement. But if you are going to be shooting all copper bullets the required rate of twist will be different. And it is a range of twists not a specific rate of twist. But don't let this make you think I don't like Larry I do like him and his videos. Go Larry.
