Smooth twists?

[yorkiets]

The STX barrel works in .177, I think the other smoothtwist barrels are a little 'hit or miss' in .177 at 12 ft lbs, but seem to work well in .22 and above, and all of them seem to work really well at FAC / American velocities.

I bought the Streamline to scratch an itch, which it has done, but the theoretical gains are not really there, it is a nice rifle, it shoots well and can be extremely accurate, but in truth it does nothing any better than any other decent rifle.

I have a lovely FX Royale in .177 that the previous owner had rebarrelled with a LW (I think because of issues with the original smooth twist barrel) It’s like a laser out to 40 yards indoors - I’ve not had the chance to get out to 50+ - but the urge to try a smooth twist x barrel persists just for curiosity sake. Not sure how it could be more accurate but you never know.

Cheers

Steve.
