Anyone know the twist rate of a Mannlicher 1952 in 243.

You can easily measure the twist. A tight fitting patch on a cleaning rod ..Insert it a little way into the muzzzle, make a mark on the rod....then tape a sort of flag...masking tape works fine.. near the handle.


Push in the rod until you make a complete turn, put another mark on the rod..measure between the marks.

Not a new idea...

The 52 carbine shoots tiny groups with 100gr SP. The Rem 700V not so much.

I'll measure it.

Thanks guys, Cool link too

Do what Duane sez! its a simple process, let the tap flag make one full turn and measure the distance in inches with marks on the rod. The gun in question is 1 turn in 10 inches (1X10)
