[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 988499, member: 2736"] Rotating the bullet requires energy. the faster your rifling twist rate is, theoretically the slower velocity will be and higher the pressure. The smooth bore will get you the fastest velocity But you will lose accuracy in small (.50 cal down) bullets. The difference is not much, but it is there. The really fast barrels normally have twist rates of 1 in 14 or 1 in 15. Simple physics J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
