[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1453856, member: 30902"] Find yourself a fired bullet with clear grooves cut into from the lans and grooves of a barrel. Imagine then twisting all of those grooves even tighter and all of the shearing stress on the jacket caused by same as they widen out. With a traditional twist those forces don't magnify because from the moment it is engaged in the lands, nothing changes until it leaves the barrel. With a gain twist as the bullet travels down the barrel the twist gets tighter and tighter with the lands constantly twisting and shearing the jacket in an attempt to cut new grooves to match the ever changing twist. It would take someone with a whole lot more of a math and engineering brain than mine to explain it but it's like putting a wrench on the bullet and twisting it against the lands all the way down the barrel instead of it simply traveling the length of the barrel in the same grooves marked on the bullet at the point of engagement.
