[QUOTE="Dirtrax, post: 1691746, member: 78945"] I just can’t see too much twist not playing an important role in bullet failure. If a course of fire demands a specific number of shots in a specific period of time then all things being equal everyone’s bullets would blow up. Increased twist is increased friction. Add in the torsional stresses and the temperature of a barrel and clearly a threshold has been crossed. Incredible demands are placed on what seems to me to be a relatively fragile component. Even if it is “just shy” of exploding imagine the distortion it must experience. Too much of a good thing is still too much. [/QUOTE]
