Most recent rifles have a 1:9 or 1:7 twist rate.

Most rifle manufacturers use 1:14 or 1:16 twist rates.

Three methods are used to describe the twist rate.

This method does not give an easy understanding if a twist rate is relatively slow or fast when bores of different diameters are compared.

In the 1960s, the twist rate was 320 mm (1:12.6 in).

The data are all for barrels with a twist rate of 1 turn in 10" which is needed to stabilize the heaviest bullets.

Common rifling twist rates also often have to be tightened to stabilize very long projectiles.

However, this twist rate only made the bullet less stable in air.

Each bundle consists of twisted pairs that have different twist rates.

Pairs having the same twist rate within the cable can still experience some degree of crosstalk.
