[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1601494, member: 94491"] Extra twist can sometimes help bullet expansion as long as it's not too dramatic--- I know a guy that did some terminal ballistic gel testing using identical ammo, barrel length, but different twist rates and an deecrease in length/twist of only 1", (ex: going from a 1:11 to a 1:10, so faster twist) actually made the bullets expand faster and to a larger diameter---especially when using barnes monolithic bullets. He said accuracy was comparable, and velocity difference was negligible [/QUOTE]
