I have a Red Wolf HP on route and was wondering what the barrel twist rate was to plug into Strelok Pro. Also, what is the twist rate for the regular .177cal version? I assume it's a 1 in 17 twist rate.

LW polygonal barrel twist rate

The RedWolf in .22 was 1:15. I’m not sure if it still is after they introduced the ART barrels. I think they left the .22 as it was as it was already accurate but not certain about that.

The standard for LW is 17.7:1 but this may vary depending of the gun manufacturer...Manufacturers may want a slower or faster barrels and WL will custom manufacture them in batches of 10 minimum...Having said this your best bet will be to measure it yourself which is an easy task...To measure it pretty accurately push the brush in until the tip of the cleaning rod is flush with the beach, mark the cleaning rod on top and push...After a full turn mark the cleaning rod at the breach and measure from there to the tip of the rod...In shorter barrels (pistols-barrels 15" long) use 1/2 turn and multiply by 2.

Thanks for the reply's gentlemen. Simon from Daystate told me the polygonal barrel is 17:1R and the. 177cal regular one is 18:1R.

I have 2 .177 barrels that are "Slow Poly" LW barrels and they have a 1 in 700mm or 1 in 27.5" twist rate. Also have several in their standard 1 in 450mm or 1 in 17.7" twist.
The slow twist works very well with heavy 13.4 and 16.2 gr. pellets.
