[QUOTE="BlackStreak, post: 656855, member: 33144"] Not saying this happens in every instance but a bullet can exit the muzzle with more velocity in a stouter twist barrel due to more resistance incountered. The increased resistance causes an increase in pressure behind the bullet as its pushed down the barrel. The increased pressure effects the burn rate of the powder and causes more of it to be burned faster. So says Bryan Litz in his Applied Ballistics book. I'm quite sure he does a better job of explaining it than what my futile attempt did. Its not substancial but it got my attention and enlightened me when I readit. Made perfect since to me. [/QUOTE]
