Does anyone know the rate of twist in new Ruger Model 77's in 22-250?

Thanks.

1-12"RH if it's a MKII

I think it is one in 14 unless they recently changed it, but either one I don't think would make much difference over the other.

Only real difference happens when you get down to one in 9 or one in 8 to shoot the longer bullets.

One in 12 would stabilize a 69 grain Sierra which would be a plus, thanks to our danish friend for the site from Ruger. I tried it but it was down for maintenance.

Good question!!!

Henrik, thanks for the site, looked it up this morning when they were back on line. will play with the 69 grain Sierra in my 22/250. Might open up some fun possibilities. Thanks.!

How to tell the twist of a rifle.
Put a snug fitting patch on the jag and insert the rod in bore. Make a mark
@ 12 o’clock on the rod at the muzzle. Pull rod out slowly until the mark is
@ 12 o’clock and measure the distance
from the mark to the muzzle. The resulting measurement is the twist of your
rifling, ie.
1 turn in ____”.
There could be some slippage between
patch and rifling, but this is close enough for government work.
