I know that this question has been answered, but I can’t find it, I have a 30 caliber Daystate Hp barrel what is the twist rate?

If it's a Red Wolf, Safari, or Delta/Alpha Wolf, it will have the ART barrel which is 1 in 30". If it's any other DS, it's likely the 1 in 17.7".

Wow, other things equal, 30 vs 17 twist barrels is surprising. I can't see how they consider them both compatible.

1 in 17.7 is LW's go to twist across all the calibers. The 1 in 30 evolved when we were testing barrels in the ART program. It shoots PELLETS at high power and longer ranges better.

Bob, is that 1 in 30 specific to the .30 caliber ART barrel, or do the .22 and .25 also have the same twist rate?

It's specific to the ART barrels but not the ART "approved". Not trying to complicate it but certain entities within DS felt the marketing potential was there to be used. The difference is that in 22, 25, and 30, the ART barrel is 1 in 30 twist w 5 groove and light choke. " approved" are 1 in 17.7 w 6 groove. Note that I've not seen any ART 22s for the Red Wolf series. They probably WILL happen but so far only the Alpha/Delta Wolf has had it that I've seen.

Copy that, I must have the “approved” barrel at 17.7 in my new to me .22 RW Hp then! I am so far very pleased with the gun in a lot of ways, including accuracy.

It was good enough that we didn't see a reason to change it at the time !
The 177 is also very good in 1 in 17.7" twist. Will the slow twist be better? Only time and thousands of rounds will tell. In my DW, it's better than the faster twist for MRD'S but could be an individual barrel thing.
Glad it's been good for you

The HP will be only 23" polygonal bores and the standards are 17" standard rifled.
The ART barrels are only on the HP as it is intended for higher power and longer ranges.

The Daystate website indicates that the Wolverine R HP is also polygonal slow twist barrels.
