I would bet the 300's twisting at 1:10 out of a 9.3 would do the same, give more penetration than the 1:14.



SU 35 thanks for this. I always suspected this but had not seen any verification. I am surprised that's twist so close showed a difference. I think if only solids were used then it would be even clearer. I agree with the lighter expanding bullets penetrating less with faster twists and more velocity due to more violent upset. But not sure how solids would react to more twist and velocity, seems even they have an optimal ratio of velocity to penetration and twist.

Szinh agree but wish they would do it up like the African model with good wood. Then maybe offer an economy or working model with a synthetic stock for Alaska and those on a budget.
