I have a question maybe someone can answer.

When you start getting a LONG bullet shot out of a gun like the 270 with a standard twist, what does the rotational velocity do to penetration? It would seem that the LRAB may tend to yaw and tumble when used at the limits of it's range once it hits the animal? Could this happen even if it shoots accurately because the rotational velocity would be less than other guns like a 6.5mm?

would a long 6.5, 7mm, or .308 caliber have the same possible issues? We all know the 6.5s tend to have 1-8" or faster twist [except for remington screwing the 260rem with a 1-9"], so would it be less likely to tumble and yaw inside the animal regardless of bullet length or design?
