RATE OF TWIST
« on: January 29, 2006, 10:47:11 AM »
I was on the Lightfield site and they recommend a twist of 1 in 23 for 20ga. & 1 in 28 for 12 ga. Do you think this might be a reason people are reporting large groups with various brands of slugs?

Nef use the industry standard for twist. Tar-hunt/Lightfield found through that the faster twist gave better accuracy in their custom guns. Do you think the NEF USH would benefit from the faster twist?
