14 paź 2024 · Barrel Twist Rate Chart for Different Bullets. To help you make an informed decision, here’s a quick reference chart showing recommended twist rates based on bullet weight and velocity for only the .223 caliber bullets, just to show an example of what twist rates to use with different weight and BC bullets:
For example, a 45 (.457) caliber rifle with a twist rate of 1 in 18″, should be able to stabilize a bullet up to 672 grains or 1.74″ in length. The Greenhill Formula does not, however, take into account bullet shape or muzzle velocity.
Find out the optimal and marginal twist rates for any bullet and shooting conditions with this tool. Enter bullet parameters, gun and atmospheric data, and get stability analysis and BC optimization tips.
What follows is a list of the rates of twist for common rifle cartridges. These were taken from various sources. The rates of twist below are expressed as "one complete turn in so many inches" (i.e. 1 in 9", 1 in 10", etc.).
15 sie 2019 · Twist rate for rifles is a measure of how quickly a barrel spins the bullet. This spin provides stability as the bullet flies. So how do we figure it out?
2 sie 2022 · What Is the Right Twist Rate for a 308 Rifle? The ideal rate of twist for a 308 rifle would give the bullet a gyroscopic stability factor of 1.3 at minimum, although 1.5 is preferable if you are firing over longer ranges.
