[QUOTE="Paladin300, post: 2787688, member: 115299"] The answer to the question is yes. A faster twist does affect pressure but not as significant as you would think. Increased pressure equals increased velocity. I think the faster twist allows you to shoot the same velocity with a slightly lower charge. So there is not a significant difference in velocity. As far as accuracy goes I find that faster twist bullets are more accurate and precise. That said I also find that the accuracy node is usually at a lower charge weight. When you really push up the pressure on any barrel in my experience they become less accurate and precise. For example I can shoot 265 gr pills out of my 338 at well over 3000 fps however it really likes them at around 2850. Just my observations and thoughts. [/QUOTE]
