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!
 
As I recall, mine is 1:12. It’s a factory A2.
 
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. .

I hunted elephant with Luke Samaris in 2005. It was my fourth safari and I tell you he is a fine gentleman the best. I got the opportunity to meet Patty Curtis, although never hunted with him but enjoyed our conversation around our tent in the Selous. Very sad for a tough guy to leave this world the way he did. Let’s pray the murderers are caught. I hope to see Luke in Nashville.
