6MM rate of twist
« on: October 31, 2003, 08:31:48 AM »
What would be a good twist rate in a 6mm-284 for 65 - 80 grain bullets.  I'm thinking some where in the area of 1 in 12.

6mm twist rate

A 1 in 12" twist is a good choice in the 6mm bore for bullets up to and including 90 grain projectiles.  Thay was the original twist rate in the Remington 722 in .244.
