[QUOTE="tim_w, post: 1364827, member: 11132"] That is why IMO for conventional designed bullets gain twist is best kept moderate say 1-2.5 inch per rev increase depending upon barrel length. Now when you get to banded bullets specifically designed for gain twist or to have the bands removed by the lands you can see some more extreme increase rates. It also seems to help hold thinner jacketed bullets together when pushed harder with faster twists. I think GT has a place when you get to these longer bearing surface heavier high bc bullets that are at the top end for caliber. Then in combination with OB cases. [/QUOTE]
