A friend is putting a new barrel on a rifle that currently has an 11" twist barrel chambered in .20 VARTARG. The reason for the replacement is to hopefully get better accuracy with Nosler and Hornady lead free bullets. We live in California. Because he is not comfortable posting on the net, (lack of typing skills combined with lack of familiarity) I am posting the question for him. His current barrel, a Krieger, shoots Berger 40 grain bullets well, but the non lead bullets are erratic and gives 1/2" to 3/4 inch groups, which is not good enough for the tiny squirrels that he shoots in the north eastern part of our state. Will a switch to a 9" twist give him better accuracy with the non lead bullets?
