Not being intentionally snarky, just don't understand the reasoning.

My dad shot bench rest rifles at targets and varmints for many years toward the end of his life. He used 6mm rifles and small 6mm cartridges and 1:14 twist barrels, using bullets from 60-75 grains. Some guys just want to shoot the light bullets. If that's the case, a 14-twist is the best twist. He shot lots of .1's.

Why would he do that??
