[QUOTE="Dragoon300, post: 3084596, member: 115285"] The way I have come to answer this question is based on the intended target, or purpose, then desired range. Twist must be sufficient to stabilize, some say you can't over stabilize, I don't believe that's true unless your bullet is perfectly balanced, like a monolithic solid. Velocity will determine energy at a given range, you need enough energy to have the correct results on the target. Once you work through that you can figure out the type rifling, direction of rotation and if gain twist is helpful. (Now who is over thinking?) It is fun though, enjoy your journey! [/QUOTE]
