[QUOTE="fiftybmg, post: 1843206, member: 96316"] It's not about bullet weight only, it's about pushing a cartridge to the point of ridiculousness when you can get better results easier by going up a caliber or two. The Browning 50 has a slow twist, even for the longest match bullets. When Mr Ackley put together the .22 Loudenboomer, he was aiming to break a speed record because he believed it could be done. That's what it comes down to - wanting to put something together because it can be done, and not being too excited about what has been done already, even if it works better. I'm all for tinkering, it is the foundation of innovation, without it there would be no variation and improvements. Is a 6 twist an improvement ? Then a 5 twist ? [/QUOTE]
