[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 778370, member: 5302"] Here's another "twist" in this very interesting thread. . . . Which rifling twist presents the greatest angle of the lands to the bullet? 30 caliber, 1:11 twist 22 caliber, 1:8 twist And thanks, Edge, for finding then posting those "unbalanced bullet" pictures. Those tests are exactly what Dr. Frederic Mann did in the early 1900 testing unbalanced lead bullets in his "Mann rest" barrel. It was published in his book "The Bullet's Flight from Powder to Target" that came out in 1907. Pretty savvy shooting stuff from a well known surgeon at the time. [/QUOTE]
