Twist rate reference

There has been some recent discussion about twist rates and recommendations for bullets weights vs. twist. I stumbled onto this information quite by accident while checking another forum. So I thought that I would post it and the link so that others can keep in their 'favorites' or just print it out. It makes a good reference when you want to check the twist rate for a rifle that you aren't familiar with. It's long but worth it in my opinion.

Best.
