What twist rate should a 458 Lott be?
 
1 in 14 should do the trick
 
Ok I just purchased a couple 458 Douglas barrels and I believe the twist rate is slower than that.
Thank you.

You need to check the bullets you plan to use. At the end of the day, they dictate the twist rate required.

Some will be 1 in 16. For black powder slower and much slower.

Nice Report! Im about to pull the trigger on booking the LDE with Patrick. I have been talking about it with him for about 3 yrs now. Romain hit me up the other day with an offer I can't refuse for 2027.

Andrew, I commented that your on 375 H&H for sale was the fair price.

Like I commented, my classic stainless has the original 24” barrel.

Did you buy yours with the barrel already cut down to 21” or did you do it (or a gunsmith)?
