Thanks.

Noted Scotch Egg. It was showing on my screen but I'd copied and pasted from another site so the background colour may have masked it. If you cannot see now, please advise and I'll try plan C

I've also changed the top link as it was reported on another site not to have worked

Recent enquiry by an interested party direct to the manufacturer suggested the barrel has a 12" twist rate. I checked the twist rate through four revolutions, using a marked cleaning rod with jag and patch, together with the RFD who holds the rifle, a riflesmith who manufactures top end rifles, We agreed that the barrel twist rate is 10", which is in accordance with the manufacturer's published literature, and not a 12" twist. I hope this helps.

Electrical tape on handle end of cleaning rod leaving a 'flag'. Revolutions of flag counted as rod passed through barrel. Assuming 10" and 12" are the only options and not a fraction, such as 10.25", this was good enough to determine twist.
