depends on the rifle old M16s used to have 1:12 this was designed to stabilize 55gr projectiles in arctic conditions, or regular conditions for that matter. Now-a-days....were using heavier bullets. 55 and 69 grain projectiles. m193 and m855. The military commonly uses 1:7 twist rate. My RRA rifle has a 1:9 twist rate and I haven't found a bullet it wont stabilize. I have shot 75 gr. (too big to feed from the mag) and a 40 gr v-max. I dont want to go heavier or lighter...so 1:9 is perfect for me.

This rifle was built by Mossberg and was labeled the 800B. The "B" series was sold thru Montgomery Wards and other large reatilers. All Mossberg model 800 .243 rifles manufactured had a twist rate of 1 in 10. So I believe it is safe to the twist rate is 1 in 10.
