Barrel Twist 17HM2
Posted: Wed Feb 07, 2024 4:08 pm
I admit that I am a rimfire nut and love anything rimfire. 22 mag. has been a huge favorite of mine for Fox hunting ever since I bought my first one back in the 60's.
The 17Mach2 is quickly becoming a new favorite, enough so that I am contemplating have a custom barrel made. Rifle twist for the Mach 2 is normally 9T, but many state that when shooting the 17 Aguila which uses a 20gr. bullet, they are getting poor accuracy with some getting bullet yawning. This got me to wondering, what if the Mach 2 barrel twist was 8T. Would the accuracy still be there for the 17gr. Mach 2 loads and have decent accuracy for the 17Aguila 20gr loads.
Does anyone have any experience or advise concerning this.
