roundball said:Thinking about the various ROT comments throughout this thread, I have to be honest and say that I wonder if any of us could "see" a difference in accuracy at the target between a 1:48" and 1:57" twist...based on a couple thoughts.
1) I thought the 1:48" twist is what most if not all top competitive shooters use;
2) In a barrel that's already shorter than 48" to begin with, a ball doesn't make a full revolution as it is...and a slower twist would make it even less so.
I'm struggling to grasp what a .40cal is going to be used for, that a change of only 9" twist would be needed, be noticeable, and make a pass/fail difference ?
:hmm:
Its not a pass/fail situation. Im having a $2500 custom gun built and I want it to be right. Keep in mind that the 1/57 is 18% slower than the 1/48.
