[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 742169, member: 10178"] To find your actual twist rate take your cleaning rod and run it into the muzzle end of the barrel and push it out the chamber end. Put you a tight patch on a loop and pull it back into the bore a little. Mark you a spot on the cleaning rod right next to the muzzle where the rod is sticking out with a magic marker etc. Then allow the rod to rotate as you pull the rod and tight patch down the bore until your marked spot rotates one complete revolution. Measure between the marked spot on the cleaning rod and the muzzle and that will give you your twist rate. It will most likely be 8" or 9" . If it is 8" you can shoot any bullet weight/length you want but if it is 9" you may not be able to stabilize any 140 gr bullets. [/QUOTE]
