[QUOTE="Milepost, post: 1695062, member: 104022"] Exactly!! One exception is the your example of the buzzsaw affect of the old black talon. No doubt its design does affect terminal performance but you also have to consider that its the hydrostatic shock (energy) that has a greater effect on tissue damage. These factors of terminal performance are designed into the bullet by the manufacturer. The manufacturers are usually very specific on twist rate and minimal/maximum speed that the bullet is designed for. So say you pick a twist rate that like a 1:7.5 for a 6.5 Creedmore shooting 143-156 gr bullets @ 2700-2800fps. Would you pick the same 1:7.5 twist for a 6.5-300 Wby solely based on the idea that it will be more terminal affect? I wouldn't... because that 143 will probably self destruct as soon a it leaves the barrel. [/QUOTE]
