[QUOTE="muleystalker, post: 1691536, member: 79944"] In all actuality speed doesn’t make up for faster barrel twist as most people think. And you don’t need a faster twist barrel because the bullets are heavier and going slower. A heavier Bullet is longer than a lighter Bullet and has a longer bearing surface in most cases. Being longer means you need a faster twist to stabilize it, speed doesn’t realy change the stability factor much when you run the numbers, altitude affects ituch more than speed of the bullet. Perfect example is most high BC mono’s are lighter the the heaviest high BC Bullet in the same cal. And are shooting much faster than the heavier cup and core Bullet but the mono’s need as fast a twist barrel or faster than the heavier lead cup and core bullets. [/QUOTE]
