7mm-08 twist rate
« on: January 23, 2005, 11:12:00 PM »
Anyone have any idea if the twist rate (what is it for a start?) in a encore 7mm-08 factory barrel is suitable for a 120gr load?
Many thanks.....

The twist rate for a 7-08 is 1 in 9. Hornady and Sierra both have data for bullets as light as 100 grains up to 3300 fps so you shouldn't have any problem with a 120.
