twist on rifling for 7mm-08
« on: October 15, 2005, 05:54:20 PM »
What is the correct twist for the rifling on my 7mm-08 barrel? My son-in-law and  I are showing a left hand twist on our barrels.  He is having an accuracy problem with his...it will not pattern.  I thought most rifles had a right hand twist.

My Pro Hunter .243 has a left-hand twist as well.  I don't think of it as a problem, but it is the only lefty I have.  BTW, I'm getting right at 1" groups with Federal 80gr Power Shocks after breaking in the barrel, so I think the accuracy is there.  Just have to work up a good load and see what it will do...
