I understand what the nomenclature specifies when it says 1-12" or 1-10" (one rotation every ten or twelve inches) but what does that mean to me the shooter?
I read the other day on this site (which I think is awesome) some guys talking about rate of twist and the amount of powder they were using in their handloads.
What should I consider (if anything) as a "Novice" concerning rate of twist when buying a rifle that I will be strictly shooting factory ammo out of?
The majority of rifles I am considering have 22" barrells with 1-12" rate of twist, however there is one rifle I am looking at that has a 24" barrell with
1-10". Is barrell length the key to the equation?
I'm looking forward to learning from you.
Thanks,
