The last Speer book that gave rifling twist rates was I believe either #10 or #11. At that time they said 1 in 10" for Remington. I guess the change to a 1 in 12" on some guns anyway is a fairly recent thing. The latest Speer book no longer has that info. Too bad in a way as I always found it to be useful information.

My Lyman Reloading Handbook #49 has a twist rate of 1-10. Lyman #47 and #45 has 1-12 as the twist rate.
