I talked with TO about that this AM. They have a 7 and and an 8 in the polygon rifling. That being said I have been shooting 40/50's in my 8 twists 22 bores for the past four years and getting great groupings at top end speeds under 0.5 without any issues. I have not found the need for a slower twist for several years. I am starting to get a gut level suspicion that the polygon bores shoot them better than most. Maybe lower pressure on the bullets or something but I'm a happy camper.

All the bolt gun barresl Ritch has been shooting from 20 Prac up to 6.5 Creed have been solid 0.3 performers over the past two years. I have an order in for a 20 Practical REMAGE, a 22 LBC and a 243 LBC for my Ruger RAP gun right now with them waiting on their production time to catch up. Ritch has his dibs in on a 204 REMAGE. I've never seen bolt guns barrels shoot so well and be so easily tuned.
