[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1278929, member: 12995"] Not doubting you, but if this is the case, then why do projectiles with tangent ogives, short boat tails, and longer bearing surfaces (such as monolithic solid coppers like Barnes) require faster twists than that of equal weight cup & core projectiles with a VLD boat tail design and a shorter bearing surface? I understand it's a different material and copper is more dense, but at the same time weight is weight, and the only difference is design. Does bearing surface deformation play into this? The only thing I can think of different is bullet design. [/QUOTE]
