Default RE: What barrel twist is it?

If you can't get the info on twist rate from the factory, do this:
Put a tight fitting patch on your cleaning rod. Preferably a rod with ball bearing handle so it will follow the lands and grooves freely. Start the rod into the rifling. Make a mark on the rod about a foot before entering the receiver if pushing from the breech. Measure the distance the rod moves until the mark on the rod rotates 360 degrees. If it makes one complete rotation after the rod moves 10 inches, your twist is 1/10.

Hi, Instead of starting a new thread,I thought I would piggy back onto this one. I have a Weatherby Accumark in 7mm STW. I am trying to find a load that it likes, but I don't know the twist rate. Any ideas?

The barrel is 26" stainless, fluted...I think its a Krieger Criterion.

Thanks
