I have a Model 10 FLCP in 243 and in 223. Is the barrel twist the same for FCP & FLCP? I know that I can push a tight patch through and verify what I think the twist rate is BUT, I don't know how to tell if it is left or right twist. pushing rod from rear will it turn right for right hand twist?? Is that correct?
Thanks,
Regis
I'm a firm believer in the theory that if it bleeds, I can kill it.
The only US made barrels that I know of that were left were the Model of 1917s and those just used the Brit machinery that was setup for it (interestingly its the now the famous 5R grove!)
And you only need a left hand twist if you are shooting below the equator, the Cornelius affect keeps the windage going correctly.
The Cornelius effect! You can bet your last money honey....its going to be a stone gas next time on Soul Train!
The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.
WoWooo.... :-)
Hehe

Pretty sure Cornelius was looking for gold, but found a Bumble....
The Coriolis effect is dependant upon where you are, and the direction you are firing, as to which direction it is going to push. But in the sense that is being spoken of, northern hemisphere folks, should be using left twist rifles.

Wonder if Don took the Soul Train to heaven?

Dang, I stand corrected, never could keep the toilet bowl swirl part straight!
Sometimes I make typing mistakes and look at it and like the result unintended or not, so I kept the Cornelius affect.
Good to have some fun.
