Twist rate for NEF 7-08
« on: May 01, 2005, 04:27:58 PM »
Does anyone know the twist rate of the NEF barrels in 7-08?  I didn't see in the the FAQ section.

It's there .280 (probably should say .284) 1 in 10.  Seems a touch slow I was reading in Ken waters "Petloads"  where 1 in 9.25  would only stabilize short bullets over 160, I wonder what the limit would be for 1 in 10.

I see Savage makes theirs 1 9.25 also.  What is NEF's problem anyway?  I do not understand what the big deal is in making their barrels a more common twist rate.
