[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 987478, member: 13833"] I agree with you 100%. In fact, there was an article published many years ago by the U.S. military stating just that. They used the M1 carbine with a 16 twist vs the M1 Garand with a 10 twist firing a 110 grain bullet. The bullets were fired into gelatin at equal velocities and the results were VERY different. The 10 twist created a much larger wound channel. I have had people dispute that with me over the years, but my experience backs this up. It only makes sense that a bullet with FAR more rotational velocity (several thousand RPM) would be more apt to expand and/or come apart.......Rich [/QUOTE]
