8x68S barrel twist ?

[yumastepside]

Would a 1 in 9.4 twist be too fast for 8x68S shooting 180 to 250gr pills ?

Hi yuma,

No! 9.4 to 10 are better than the original 11,5 twist.

Good luck!

Thanks, I'm looking at a 9.4 Lothar Walther, so I think that might be the go.

Well, you cant over stabilise a bullet. The modern 8mms all seem to have a 1/10" twist. I think a 1/9.4" twist should be fine.

Agree rifletuner. In general, is much better, more versatile, a little too fast than a little too slow rifling twist.
