ive been ready to send in for a new barrel on the mosin. Sending in this week for it. How ever they offer three twist rates to choose from. 1-8,10, or 12.

I mostly have had good luck with the 182 grain loads. Never ordered a custom barrel like this. What is a good twist rate for the heavier grain barrel?

Thanks

Nate.

I use 1:10 on my target Mosin. 174 gr SMK'S work best for me.
 
You say you've had good luck with 182 grain loads, that's great and all but a new barrel may or may not shoot the same load as well as the old barrel. I will say this that the 1:10 will be all that's you'll need unless you want to shoot ultra heavy bullets subsonic.

Yup. You are right. I have had a hard time finding straight info on what the stock mosin twist rate was. I don’t need sub sonic. It’s a hog hunter. The stock barrel is almost a smooth and groups more than a foot. Lol. Sooo. Time for fun.

Thanks for the help y’all. . With turn time of 5 months it’s might be a bit before I report back on the new barrel.

McGowen makes a good barrel too. I have a McGowen on a wildcat AR-15 cartridge and it's a legitimate one hole shooter with its preferred load.
 
might wanna go with the .308, it offers a better selection of bullets.

I miss typed. They did not offer a choice. But I can find out. I don’t reload much. Mostly shoot the PPU ammo. Have been saving the brass. I need to keep reloading. Have prob 4-500 cases saved up.
