[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 1784039, member: 97050"] I’m personally against over twisting if there’s no need but there are some tricks to the trade in why people do such things. Generally for special purpose built rifles, using long heavy bullets, in this case about 212ish gr and higher. One of those reasons is the obvious, but with more depth. That’s stability, but not just stabilizing, but stabilizing in a specific gyroscopic stability factor that allows the bullet through transonic and into subsonic with maximum stability. Having talked to you in prior post, I’m not sure that is something that you will be doing with a cartridge like that specifically but if you are...there’s that. Next, there is a theory by Bryan litz that being above a specific gyroscopic stability factor...I believe specifically 1.5 assist in maximizing certain projectiles BC potential throughout the bullets flight. Again, these purposes are for extremely specific, and generally far shooting at or or around the point of a cartridges max range. I wouldn’t consider this a benefit for hunting, or to the average shooter. [/QUOTE]
