    (these are all measured from my own rifles/barrels apart from the Steyr barley twist, you may find that your barrel is different, it seems manufacturers change the barrels/twist rate from time to time)
    Officially the LW barrels (which are fitted to a lot of different rifles) are 1:450mm (1:17.71"), this includes the polygonal barrels.

    I have been told that slow twist rates (1:20+) would be best for accuracy but I have also been told that a faster twist rate is better in the wind. This is for sub 12ftlbs.
