Rate of twist 22-250

[James B]

I was checking out the FAQ and did not see the rate of twist for the 22-250. Anyone know what it is?

This chart shows it as 1 in 14", but that doesn't mean the Handi is....I'd be willing to bet it's 1 in 12" just like the .223.....You can find out real easy with a tight patch on a jag, run the patch in the barrel, mark the rod so you can tell when it has rotate one full turn, slowly pull the rod out and measure the amount of rod exposed at one full turn. Have done this many times on muzzleloader barrels, it works on Handis too, did it on my .30-30.
