12 twist PPC

[Eric Leonard]

You still shooting 12 T ppc 9 years later???
I just stuck a 12 T with Cortina tuner / brake on a Bat SB

I switched to a 12t BRA for a while and have shot a 13.5t PPC the last 4 years

Sometime this year I'm going to do what @RGRobinett said quite some time ago, 13 twist and bt bullets, we'll see what happens!

I have merely repeated what Mike Walker, of BR & Remington fame, advised WAY back, in the 1980s - not my concept at all . . . later, mathematically supported by both William C. Davis Jr., and Robert McCoy.

Then, much after Mr. Walkers admonishment, tested by yours truly to confirm the mathematical predictions: there is NO proof - only STRONG evidence. The only absolute: nothing is absolute. With very little risk, we can tilt probability strongly in our favor. "DARE TO BE DIFFERENT". RG

P.S. for most of the BR quality 6mm bullets (FB, & BT) based upon .825" long J4 jacket, the highest precision probability lies from 12-13" and anything in-between.

Care to simplify this for a caveman? Trying to figure out what is being said here. Is it 12 or 13?

I’m seriously considering going back and trying a 12 6PPC again. When I switched from 12 to 13.5 I started ahooting better scores but that could have just been my progression and not the twist. Idk ,,

I think he is saying 12 or anything else between 12 or 13 will (should) work.

I've had pretty good match success with 12 twists but slower can certainly work too. Not trying to change any minds here. I just know that based on my own experiences over the years...I will be staying with a 12 twist.

Too many get too far caught up into what the internet says is "ideal twist rate." I won a nats shooting 68s in a 12 twist. How'd that happen if the internet knows so much? Test and ye shall see! Testing is how we KNOW stuff. The rest is something else. Do what works for you but don't believe just one gun, bbl or load. It takes several bbls to really prove much to yourself and you can't worry about convincing anybody else but YOU!

If someone doesn't win matches with what works for you, that doesn't mean it can't win...or is better or worse. It just means THEY didn't win with it. How many bbls did they test, how many loads, did the popular choice sway their confidence, how good are they at keeping a rifle at peak tune, would they have won with something different?...Probably NOT.
