For stabilization/accuracy of the bullet yes. Speed and bullet weight for killing yes. But twist????


Only that the denser the medium (in most cases, sea level air vs mountain air) the more stabilizing that is required. I don't think you can spin it fast enough to make it track perfect in meat. Some claim there is a "buzz-saw effect". I have no opinion on that one.
