Cam blocked me in his DM's when I asked him if he was a front wiper. If you hear from him, tell him I'm sorry and I didn't mean to trigger him so bad. I'm expecting to see some results next fall from all that range time you're putting in!
Okay, that's funny...
Yep. And twist. Another interesting variable. Do bullets spun faster work better? Monos probably, but what about the rest of bullet types? mtmuley
Most factory rifles have too slow of a twist. I’m yet to blow a bullet up.
Be pretty hard to blow up a mono. I've shot Ballistic Tips at almost 4000 fps. No blow up. mtmuley
You mean like a 1 in 3 twist like this? Centripidal forces that are normal to the center (the forces that keep water in a bucket spinning) increase exponentially with linear changes in speed.
Maybe it’s in my head but I’ve had better luck keeping varmint bullets inside coyotes and saving hides with an 8” twist 22-250 than I ever did with a 14” twist. Wonder if the higher rpm is causing the bullets to come uncorked easier inside the coyote instead of holding together. Most varmint bullets are rated for under 300k rpm and I’m over that a fair share
I’ve thought about that if people are worried about having bullets come apart in flight, what are those bullets going to do when they hit something.
Wonder if you can over twist? Wish I had the unlimited funds to dive into it. Know a guy that has a little bit. mtmuley
O ya for sure you can over twist a bullet. I think a 7 twist 22 creedmoor shooting a lightweight berger or hornady would have a hell of a time making it to the target.
Bullets fault at that point. mtmuley
Bullets are built for a 12 or 14 twist. It would be asking them to do something they aren’t supposed to.
Nope. Some guys pushing monos to 5000 fps plus. mtmuley
I have a 7 twist 22 creed that I’ve never shot anything below a 75 grain bullet in because I believe people when they say they have done it.
Yeah - you can. ive heard of bullets ripping apart - around 300k rpm. Though they arent monos.
