Description
As shooters of low drag spin stabilized projectiles, we’re compelled to understand the twist requirements of our bullets. In most cases, this is a simple matter of looking up what the manufacturers recommended twist rate is and making sure our barrel satisfies it. Occasionally you can get away with using a slower twist than what’s recommended if you’re shooting in favourable conditions. The manufacturers recommended twist rate is intended to ensure stability for any and all possible shooting situations, which means it’s sometimes faster than necessary for favourable or even average conditions.
This is exactly the case with our new .204 caliber 55 grain Long Range BT bullet. Because of this bullet’s weight and length, it has a faster twist requirement than most other .20 caliber bullets. We recommend a minimum twist of 1:8” to ensure stability for this bullet in all shooting conditions. Due to the popularity of the standard 1:9” twist for .20 caliber barrels, many shooters may be bummed to see the 1:8” recommended twist for this bullet. This web log entry is intended to shed some focused light on the stability requirements of this new bullet, so it doesn’t get passed over by everyone with a 1:9” twist barrel. It is possible that your 1:9” twist barrel may stabilize these new bullets just fine depending on what conditions you’re shooting in.
