Does anyone have any experience with a faster than 1:16" barrel twist rate? I see PVA has 1:12" but I haven't seen any reviews. Mike Bush of Vudoo has seen great results from a 1:9".
I may try the new Cutting Edge offerings, 32gr and maybe 42gr(if It will feed from a 22mag magazine?) but I do still want to be able to shoot standard 40gr lead match offerings. Any preferred barrel manufacturers that offer faster twist? I am planning on a 22"- 24" length. I guess I'm looking for the fastest twist rate I can run 40gr lead with the hope of trying some new copper bullets too. The plan is shooting matches with some targets beyond 300 yards. Thanks, MBanning |

I run a 16 twist in my Vudoo and shoot 40grn lead to over 500 yards. I know Mike shoots the 40grn lead in 9 twists also. Looking at the Cutting Edge site they say a 10 twist for the 42grn solid so if you plan on loading your own .22 ammo and using that bullet then get the 9 twist.
Might want to watch the length too. I wouldn't go over 22". You got to watch it as you can lose velocity with a .22 going too long.
