1 in 15" is the predominate twist for .50 BMG. Both of my Vipers are 1 in 15" The K&P barrel I have that will be fitted one day to my McBros action is 1 in 15" My State Arms Rebel is 1 in 9 1/2". I can shoot long 890 grain VLD projectiles with it, but the best velocity I can safely get with the 890 grainers is 2550fps from the 36" barrel. I usually get my best results with regards to accuracy in the 2650 to 2725fps range with these rifles.
