[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 1808903, member: 92702"] I would add to this that with cup and core bullets my experience is that twist also affects expansion. Going up a couple of inches in twist most likely will make those types of bullets expand more at close range, and continue to expand at longer range than the slower twist. This can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on the bullet. Also, rotational velocity does not degrade at nearly the rate forward velocity does, and any explosive effect will likely be carried further downrange. Choose your bullets wisely. [/QUOTE]
