I'm shopping around for a .22 centerfire, probably a .223 or .22-250 and was wondering how important rifling twist rate is. What is a 1 in 9" twist better for as opposed to a 1 in 12"? I'm going to start handloading and will use bullets of varying weight for game ranging from ground squirrel to coyote. Anything bigger will get a dose of .30-06.
So how does twist rate effect accuracy and terminal performance? How important is the right twist rate and what rate would be best for a multi-purpose rifle?
