Does a short barrel need a faster twist?

[QUOTE="Kronberg, post: 321287, member: 20761"] Hm, interesting. The barrel length thus influences the needed spin through the increased velocitiy. The 1-11 twist near the crown of a 26" barrel will spin the bullet accordingly a little bit faster than the one near the crown of a 20" one. Did one of the members here experience an sudden opening up of a group of heavy (long) bullets shot out of a barrel with relative low twist at a longer range compared to range shorter by 50-100 yards?
