I have a Thompson Center Encore rifle with a Match Grade .22 long rifle barrel.
I have been wanting to get a .223 barrel and a nice scope for this rifle but when I look at the T/C catalog all I see is 24 or 26" barrels with a 1:12" twist?
The reason I wanted to get the barrel in the first place was for long range heavy 75 grain handloaded bullets, not a varmit rifle for 35-55 grain bullets.
Does anyone know off hand what weight of bullets a 1:12" twist maximum is good for?
Maybe I will have to contact the T/C Custom shop to see about a rifle barrel with a 1:7" twist rate?
