Default RE: Need help, formula for rifling twist.

Draw a line on your cleaning rod, rod must have a free spinning handle. Place in barrel with a tight fitting jag and patch so the rod will turn with the rifling. Place a mark on the rod at the barrel and feed the rod in until the line rotates to the starting point, mark again. Pull out the rod and measure. Twist rate is 1 in X where X= measurement b/t the marks.

Hope that's what you ment
