[QUOTE="Lou270, post: 2525984, member: 5352"] Im playing devils adovcate here because I have thought about this a good bit and fail to see a benefit for big game hunting . A faster twist would increase the centrifugal force. So bullets fragments would zip off at more right angle to penetration. Bullet deformation happens pretty much immediately on impact so I can see why the faster twist shows up as more ‘pop’ on a small animal like ground squirrel. I cant see how that helps on a big game bullet where you want to scramble all the vitals not just the near side. Lou [/QUOTE]
