I got a Ron Smith Gain Twist last winter and had it fit on my CPA.
I was able to shoot it at the fall match at Beeson range, turned in a 247, the highest I ever shot.
At the fall 22 match I went early and shot the CPA some more:
Shot 249- 9C

Thanks for the info on RKS barrels-I have a new RKS blank .321 about ready to install on my CPA bench rifle, this rifle has shot very good with a Douglas barrel for fifteen years --by years end I'll know if the RKS will shoot better than the Douglas. This RKS has eight grooves is that standard for the .321 stainless barrels--the breechend is stamped .321 23X12 twist finish at 26--it sure is pretty on the inside--now if I could just get someone to dope the wind --see that nice target above--I'm going to set beside KAF, when he shoots I shoot. leadball
P.S. do you have any good info on installing the barrel

Leadball,
I've been trying to beat you for several years and now you go and maybe make it more difficult. How about you shoot some bullets with defective bases and give me a chance. I love you anyway.

Also wanted to let you know that Bobby Hoyt is a barrel maker located in Fairfield, Pennsylvania, which is a small village located 8 mile west of the square in Gettysburg. Bobby does only single point cut rifling and will do a gain twist at your request. Also, he will do a choke bore where appropriate. He's been is the trade for at least 20 some years.

What do these two men have in common? They both use RKS Ltd. gain-twist barrels.

Could you fine gentlemen please provide the full names and contact information for both Ron Smith and Bobby Hoyt, and the trade name
of their respective businesses ?
Also, How does one decide what beginning and end twist is best suited for a particular caliber and bullet ?
