Do you think TC is actually using a 1:10 or is this a misprint?

Everything I could find on the web points to it being a 10 twist. If its a typo they messed up in more than one place.
Seeing the moa quarentee leads me to believe it may be a 10.
This could be very good news for the 204R cartridge. I called TC. They're gonna call me back when they get it figured out.

The short action Ventures are just hitting the dealers around here. I have a price of $429 on the black model from the local dealer. The SA models including the Predator must have went on the TC website yesterday. I will see if i can get a price on the Predator.

I heard back from TC. It is indeed a 10 twist.
They found through testing to get better accuracy with the heavier bullets. We all could have saved them some money on those tests
Thats very good news. Hopefully the rest of the Manufacturers will wake up and fall in line now.
