[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1614004, member: 7999"] Increasing the form factor would entail slimming the nose, shortening the baring surface, etc. All of these things would result in weight loss. Then there is only one way to gain that weight back. Make the pill longer. This would result in more needed twist and dynamic stability issues. The longer for caliber a bullet gets the more they "struggle" to swap ends in flight. No matter what, weight always adds bc. Form factor can become an effort in futility. Yes, more twist would allow us to create a heavier bullet with better bc. It will more than likely need more horse power to be more effective than the smaller bullet. It would take some experimenting. More hp behind the current design would increase the current bullets potential making it that much more difficult for the heavier, better form factor slower bullet that needs more twist to stay stable, bullet to catch up in the race. I guess this is what drives us to find more performance. [/QUOTE]
