Going to have a very nice VZ.24 action barreled into a 9,3x62. Have had wonderful success with that caliber in a CZ550 American. Will probably use 286 Noslers and Woodleighs in it. Don't know the twist of the CZ and what twist might be appropriate for 250s. Mike -------------- DRSS, Womper's Club, NRA Life Member/Charter Member NRA Golden Eagles ...

Acording to the 2004 CZ catalog I have the twist for a 9.3x62 is shown as a 1-9.5"s. I seem to remember that that has changed but I'll dig out the CZ-USA or CZ-UB webistes and have a look see. I just looked at the CZ-USA page and the twist is still shown as 1-9.5"s for a 9.3x62. I need to anyway since I am about to order a 6.5FS it looks like and want to know the same info. Ron | |||

As well as I remember, I checked my CZ550 with the "cleaning rod" test and it came out as 1 in 14" twist, which is OK up to any bullet you want. Mine shoots 232gr Norma Vulkans and 286gr. Nosler Parts. equally well. Haven't tried anything heavier. BobG in VA | |||

The Geenhill formula figures the SLOWEST twist to just stablize the bullet. It uses the diameter and the LENGTH of the bullet. The only .366 bullet I have is a PRVI 285 grain SP - It measures 1.24" long. SO..... 150 x .366 x .366 / 1.24 = 16 >>> I would not build it any slower than 1:14 and most probably 1:12. ________ Ray | |||

According to a German book, most common twist for 9,3 calibres is 1:14 | |||

I think my R93 barrel is 1-14 and it shoots great. I dont think you can go wrong with a 1-12 or a 1-14. 505ED DRSS Member | |||
