1:9 twist is what you want or even 1:12... as far as brand I will keep my mouth shut just understand you get what you pay for. [wink]

ummmmm......Badshot you kind of got it backwards the faster twist is for the heavier ammo that is why the military uses 1:7 twist because they use 62grn ball.

The ideal twist for 55 grn would be 1:12-1:14 but since you want an all around gun I would go with 1:9. That twist will serve you well no matter what you put through it. That is the best all around twist now get that gun built and come to a shoot. [postal]
