Swarovski1 Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Hi all, ive recently had my t3 varmint in 25 06 rebarrelled to 6.5 06, its a 1 in 200mm twist, approx 1 in 7.89 inch twist,will this twist let me shoot 95 or 100gr bullets sub 0.5 inch or better before I waste my money, have asked this question on another site, I had a couple of positive replies but I am not sure if they have exactly the same twist, slightly slower twist may make all the difference.atb swaro.

DaveT Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 If you use the Miller stability formula you can tell if your rifling twist will stabilise the bullets...... but assuming it does then the MOA accuracy is down to the gun and you not the twist rate per se.

Swarovski1 Posted October 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Thanks dave, according to the miller formula calculator they will be stable, atb swaro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henryo Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 That will stabilize pretty much anything - up to the various 140gr target bullets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palo Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 My sako 6.5x55 1/8 twist is very accurate with sierra 85 grain varmint bullets so they might be worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
