Talk about fast twist. This sharps puts them out with a 1/36 twist. Not for the faint hearted... ![[Linked Image]](http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee202/bridgershooters/Deer/114_1446.jpg) Don't have many Remingtons, do you Shrap?
What fresh Hell is this?

I have absolutely noticed a difference when shooting rat sized vermin.
Travis Me too, the slower bullets from the fast twist barrels just don't have the "impact"... ![[Linked Image]](http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee202/bridgershooters/Varmints/GophersJune7o.jpg)

If you've ever played with Hornady SX bullets at various speeds and twists, you can understand that there are plenty of forces at work that don't necessarily require a target to deploy. Naturally, the first obstacle a 'hot' bullet encounters is going to subject that bullet to release more quickly.
Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.

I've been playing around with faster twists the last couple of years. It may be a freak occurrence, but well, things seem to die faster...
I don't have empirical data. I've just noticed more trauma and quicker deaths. Could be a coincidence or maybe there is something to it....
Whatcha think? Hmmmm- wonder how on earth those old timers with smoothbore muskets and round balls ever killed anything, what with no twist and all.....
I'd rather be a free man in my grave, than living as a puppet or a slave....

I think you are missing the point.
I have absolutely noticed what he is saying when small critters are the subject. As have many. It is not imagined.
On something the size of a deer, I don't believe the effect is nearly as dramatic, or readily apparent to the eye.
JMO....

Communicated without a phone/computer? Survived an appendix attack? No one EVEr said the other shiet don't kill, but there is a reason man lived in a cave for many a 1000 years. Because he hadn't figured out how to build a phugging house yet.

Travis No sheit. If A then Z. Time for TAK to start asking how many people you've killed. Amazing the amount of stupid [bleep] on the 'Fire.

Somewhere, on some quiz, a kid has named the ships Nina, Puta, and Santa Maria.

Travis It's the same reason a semi with wheels revolving 600 RPMs is less lethal than a Subaru with wheels rotating 1500 RPMs is����.. �����uh, wait���. hmmm? Maybe that's apples to oran���.gatans?

Seems to me that a bullet would only make maybe 2 revolutions through a broadside shot deer. I don't know how that would affect anything? We have a winner. Keep your distance from the 'tards or they'll rub off on you.
