What is the twist rate for a 340 in 222 cal?

1:12

222 Remington - 1 in 16" . . . . . .J.C. Higgins 52, early Sako

The real test is to get a tight fitting patch on a rotating cleaning rod. Start the rod into the bore with the patch. Mark the rod where it starts and measure the distance the rod traveled for 1 revolution. If it measures 16" for 1 revolution of the cleaning rod, then it is a 1 - 16" twist. The standard for 222 Remington is 1-14", but as you can see, it can vary from one manufacturer to another.

Thanks Guys, The reason I ask is I bought some stuff at a garage sale,( the big D) and I don`t mean Dallas, and one box of Sierra 22 cal.224 dia. 69 gr. hpbt-match said 7"-10" twist bbls only. So I guess I`ll make crappie jigs with them if my bbl is 1:12. Thanks again

There is no rule that says you can't shoot them, they might surprise you and if nothing else fill some milk jugs with water and watch them explode.

Make weights with the cost of bullets these days.....
