Everything you need to know about rifling twist ~ A practical guide! 

Someone that wants to share his depth of knowledge without any strings. Thank you.

I'm 65-years old, been around firearms all my life, and learn so much more about firearms from your channel. Wishing you the Best and Thank You. Alaska John

I have owned and shot firearms for over 50 years, this presentation is the most complete explanation covering both the theory and practical sides. I just subscribed a few days ago discovering the channel quite by accident , what a treat, no BS , NO HIP SLICK AND COOL , just cogent well presented discussions. Thank you.

Been making barrels for 42 years...and I can be buffalo'd by all manner of things. Rifle barrels aren't one of them. Really nice to hear a well spoken, well informed gent who lays proper information on the line. Ya' nailed it son..!! There are SO many "gun experts" out there who are so grossly misinformed, and then pass these misconceptions on to others...its sickening.! I watch many of these videos scheptically..waiting for the nonsense to start. YOU are a breath of fresh air..!!! A well informed gent who properly phrases "gun speak". Definately not your first rodeo.! Thanks for helping the average neophyte out there. I've dealt with far too many who are genuinely clueless. Lets hope some of the info you're imparting sticks with a few of these guys.! Keep it up..! Made me smile......! Regards...

I want to hang out with this guy. Hero level knowledge.

The whole time I was watching, Proverbs 18:15 was going through my mind which says, "The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge". I know where to come when I seek firearm knowledge! Thank you for giving your time, knowledge, and wisdom. I have learned more about shooting equipment from you, than anyone else. That also goes for my wife and my daughters; they feel the same as I do! May God bless you in abundance!

Hello Sir, Thank you for your gift and your time. Nothing better on a Friday night than putting more valuable Gunblue knowledge in my memory banks Take care Rick Mansberger ps. Hi Benny

This man knows guns inside and out,thank you sir

I appreciate your videos because I learn so much. They are in a class by themselves. Thank you.

Thank you for making the complex still complex, but understandable! I appreciate the effort that you put into your videos, and your ability to make me understand the processes, without just telling me what I want to hear. Like me, you're old enough to remember the Memorex commercials with Ella Fitzgerald. You are the real deal, you are an original! Too many people are running around the Net repeating what they hear with no understanding of what they are talking about. You're an educator! Please keep up the hard work! Your efforts are not going unappreciated. Thank you and......well, you know!

Amazing - you appear to just switch on the camera, stand in front of it and give an incredible, fascinating lecture without notes or prompt - as if you were a college Professor! If you haven't written a series of books on shooting, you ought to seriously consider doing so. Many Thanks & Best Wishes from the U.K.

Wow that was an excellent presentation! I really liked that it had no annoying music as some others stated. Thanks for showing how to measure the barrel twist too. It was all interesting!!!

Gotta love this guy. I wish I could personally go to the range with him. Please keep them coming. Cannot help but learn something each time. Thank you.

God I love this channel. Learning heaps. Thank you sir.

Nice to have a subject explained concisely with an eye towards practicality. Thank you sir.

Someone who knows what he is talking about ,no stupid background music /noise and strangely an American who talks on subject and not a sales spin ,..refreshing and others I hope will follow your example .

Great teacher...one of the most valuable and educational channels on the whole of youtube

Dang! How you don't have a million subscribers is beyond me, thank you so much for sharing your extensive knowledge and expertise, it is not only valuable but captivating in its interest. Salute.

There is such beauty and elegance in mastery. Absolutely beautiful how you masterfully articulated this topic. A true master.

This is one intelligent gentleman!

You have answered every question in a half hour that I've ask others about in the last 20 years. I was literally glued to my android listening and taking notes.Thank god I found a channel that was recommended to me by Utube. You have a new fan. God bless.

I call this applied engineering which absolutely is more practical and truthful than other methods.

I've been into firearms about 50 years, I still learn new things every day about the physics of the bullets.

I've been watching you for a good long time now and occasionally return to selected videos such as this one. You are a treasure and wealth of knowledge. I appreciate also, you are a man of God and your morals are consequently golden.

Last time I heard a guy like this, I was talking to a gunsmith who had been building, repairing and shooting firearms for over 50 years. Thank you, sir.

I understood more of this video. I may still have to watch it again before I try to move forward on other parts of the rifle.

This is the absolute best gun channel on RU-vid. I only discovered your channel yesterday and have already watched several of your videos. Reminds me of listening to lectures in college. Thank you for your service and sharing your knowledge. I, for one greatly appreciate what you do. Subscribed

Great information as always! We love seeing your channel grow day by day. May God continue to bless you and this channel. And so true about what's popular. In general we typically don't do trends whatsoever. We'll see you on the next one...

I enjoy learning from your experience. Its a pleasure to have someone explain complex subjects without sounding complicated. Thank you sir.

Fantastic information , will recommend this video to all my friends. Wish I had your teachings when I first started learning to shoot. You are very much appreciated and thank you.

Love your videos. Thanks for producing them.

This is by far the best explanation of practical aspects of rifling twist rates I've heard.

This guy ought to make DVDs, so much to learn and there's something he explains about not being able to overt stabilize a round in flight. I've heard people contradicting this before.

Outstanding video. You really know the art! I love learning from what you have to share. Thanks a ton. This is a video worthy of watching about nine times!!!

well all i can say is to bad i didn't find this guy years ago when i purchased all the parts to build my AR 15. back then like he said most everyone was saying 1:7 twist was the way to go an maybe it still is for a 16" barrel shooting 55 gr. and 62gr green tip 5.56 ammo. wish i knew now. i hope it is as o'm not going to go and buy another barrel just to get a 1:9 twist rate or something like that. anyway it was really great to listen to him explain twist rate and what happens to bullets this far out or that far out. best thing is i could listen to him talk about this stuff all day, thank you sir.

ive been shooting for years and have shot many different calibers. This man knows his stuff!!! i find myself looking forward to all his videos. I'm learning so much from you sir and i thank you!

What a brilliant video!!! I could listen to this guys voice all day!

What a wealth of knowledge this guy has! Loved every word.

Love your channel! I'm so glad i came across it! So interesting! Thank you sir!

This guy really knows his stuff! Thank you sir

Thank you for sharing your knowledge on firearms, I have learnt alot from you and I will definitely share your knowledge with others. Thank you sir.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. This is one of the best videos I have seen on this subject matter.

Such knowledge here! GunBlue490 is a treasure!

Your knowledge is vast. Thank you for sharing with us. Comes in very handy for us hand loaders.

This guy is the real deal. No BS and a wealth of information like no other I've ever heard. Like going to a "firearms university". I have been around guns for 50 years and have learned more in the last few months than I thought possible. These videos should be a requirement for anyone working in the gun or ammo department in any retail store. A true learning experience and a pleasure to listen to. Thanks, John Torian

Wow. The information in this video is unbelievable. Thank you.

This man is a encyclopedia of firearms. Learn much from you.

Sir, so much knowledge sharing and in the most didactic way, I learn so much listening to your detailed explanations. God bless you too

Thank you! I always learn something from your videos!

Great advise as always. I have buddies that chase trends like crazy. For example if it does not say magnum on it it's just weak. Instead of waisting my time trying to explain it to them in just going to start sending links to your videos. Thank you for the time and effort you put in your videos. God bless!

Full of firearm knowledge and wisdom! Thanks so much!

Im a new subscriber! And have been learning a great number of things from your content. I live in NE Washington state. With nothing else to do besides watch it snow .And am new to reloading so thank u!

Best quote from this "slow, luxurious twist"... awesome. 15:55

Thank you for the information you share.

Thank you. Your video cleared up several of my problems. Great video

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom. I learned a lot!

Thanks for the information. And for putting in a simple way that it is easy to understand.

Thank you so much for this. Ties in very nicely with with my last question on one of your other videos about heavier bullets being happier in my 308 remington 7600 (22", 1 in 10"). Really appreciate this video.

A fountain of practical knowledge, superb instruction and guidance

As always a great dissertation, thank you.

Your are a wealth of information and knowledge thank you for always sharing with great videos

All true and correct however, a 125 SST loaded in a 308 under 4895 (light load) or Varget (heavy load) are killers on Texas Whitetail out to 200 ish with a 1/10 twist.On the other end, I've been successful with 220 interlock round nose under Varget out of the same rifle while on in your face pig hunting adventures in the thick east Texas bottom lands.Gunblue and Hickok are by far my favorite you tube channels. Thanks for all ya do.

For those extreme ranges that don't apply to most shooters it is possible to have to much gyroscopic stabilization relative to aerodynamic stability because it fights the bullet aligning its self to the relative airflow as it gets late in the trajectory arc. Very corner case but it is there just the same

Really enjoy your videos. Full of great information, thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Great video. Thanks for sharing all of your knowledge.

Terrific, educated, experienced information and presentation.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge of twist rate and how simple it is to get twist rate..Good stuff...

thanks for the tip about squaring the target to the shooter then checking the circularity of the bullet holes. I'll do that very thing when checking the tuning on my bow or crossbow setup, but it never occurred to do that same thing to check a rifles "tuning". good advice, please keep it coming!

Great video, you clarified a whole bunch of things for me there

What a wealth of knowledge, Thank you Sir.

Sensational and very well put. I Had no idea that it works like that. Excellent thank you Enufzed Downunder

Another wonderful video. Thanks a lot

Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Excellent, thanks for your time and effort.

Another master class! Thank you so much.

Well explained, Sir!

Always great information.

Again thanks for a concise explanation on the topic, really enjoy your vids, Thanks Paw-Paw👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thank you for your time and knowledge

Excellent information Sir !!

So polishing out all those scrapes down the inside of my barrel was bad? Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and wisdom.

This is excellent information Sir, Thank you for sharing! Subscribed and I will be checking out your other videos.

That is some great knowledge. Very clever.

Thank you for your dedication also this particular subject is of interest to me and I watched a program and also saved it thank you very much sir and God bless you✝️

Very good information put in a way that we all gain practical application knowledge. Also if your a hand loader most loading manuals use standard twist rate barrels as the basis for their loads for a particular cartridge.

Great video, Thank you!

I'm an average type of guy and I've never really given any consideration to the rifling twist other than the actual condition of the lans and grooves. So thank you very much for confirming my belief that to us average shooters it really doesn't matter. Best regards.

Thoroughly enjoy your videos.

Sir, your presentations are akin to an University Course. Clear, informative, precise.

Thanks sir, America stands tall thanks to men like you who have created its legacy forever. May God bless you.

Excellent presentation . Congratulations.

GunBlue490, I asked this question of you regarding a .243 in another video, and after you answered, the implications of shear force on lighter thin jackets were clear to me. My Ruger target .243 with 1:9 shoots better using a 70 gr than a 100 gr, but only marginally so. It would not affect a hunting situation should a 1:10 be present in a hunting .243 rifle. I think, after reading many forums the last couple of years, you are exactly right in the description of use for .223 and heavier, longer bullets. Also a trend is now to the 300 blackout where individuals are shooting subsonic 220-240 grain bullets and looking for a way to stabilize these heavy bullets. I have noticed questions on the forums even regarding subsonic or reduced loads for .308. Just as you mention Remington changing the twist for the hunting applications of .243, perhaps the trend for the 300 blackout group is influencing the questioned need for faster twist? Your answer is spot on....individuals should ask themselves what their intent on owning the firearm is. Thanks for the explaination!!!

The mrpete222 or "Tubalcain" of firearms I mean that as a top-tier compliment. Because it is.

Novice gun enthusiast here...Thank you for this VERY informative tutorial!!

Great Video!!! Thank you for the education Sir

Outstanding video

Great information, thanks.

Very well presented 👍 great info thanks

Thanks very much for your video!!

Very useful! Thank you.
