RIFLE TWIST HELP
 

HI,

I have been told that barrel rifling (rate of twist)will affect the accuracy of bullets of different grains. I do not know rate of twist on my rifles, maybe someone could help me out. i have a remington model 700 bdl stainless with 25 1/2 inch barrel chambered in 300 weatherby mag & browning composite stalker 388 with a 26 inch barrel,
this might be a long shot but does anyone know which grain bullet would be best in each rifle or am I looking into this area to much.

THANK YOU

My book says 1 in 10 on the 300 Weatherby (remington).And the same for the 338(Browning) unless it is an older sako action then it is 1 in 12

The rifles you mention are eifled to handle the great majority of "normal-weight" bullets that are loaded in those calibers. Knowing the twist won't help you much unless you have a specialized barrel made for either lighter-than-normal or heavier-than-normal bullets. In addition, there's only one way to determine what bullets work best in your individual rifles is to shoot a bunch of different ;loads, and choose the best one! If you are contemplating taking long-range shots (this is when extreme accuracy is significant), you need a lot of practice anyway, and practicing allows you to test a lot of different loads!!

Keep yore powder dry!!
