I'm looking for some input on a proper twist rate for my rifle build, 500 A Square. The plan so far is an 18" barrel shooting 570gr pills somewhere between 2100 and 2300 fps. I've run the numbers and done some research. I've seen anywhere from 1:10 to 1:26. I'm leaning towards 1:14 maybe 1:15.

Thanks in advance!
 
FYI, you can break 2500 fps with the right combination of 570 grain loads. They are a little snappy, as you might expect. Ah, I just noticed the shorter barrel. .

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
