[QUOTE="jpndave, post: 1817070, member: 5437"] This is interesting to me. If you were only going to shoot solids, I would think really cranking up the twist could help things out. Bryan Litz talks about this in at least one of his books. I'll have to go back and reference where. Basically the really fast twist not only increases BC but also terminal performance. Bullets drive into tissue and stuff further and straighter the faster they are spinning. Expansion and petal separation initiates better too. Problems are bullets can come apart if spun too fast and even microscopic jacket thickness variations throw the bullet sideways as it leaves the barrel. Neither of these would be issues with the solids. [/QUOTE]
