Now, it you increase velocity the twist will remain the same (1:48) but it will be traveling faster downrange therefore covering the 48" increments faster - hence spinning faster - resulting in more RPMs.
OK - I am having trouble with this one.... Would not the Revolutions Per Minute be consistent for only a short distance out of the barrel and then start to decay with distance. As it decays it reduces RPM. The trick is to get it to the distance you want it get to before velocity and RPM's have decayed to the point that accuracy is lost...

Granted as Bronko says with greater velocity it will cover the distance quicker before decay become as factor.

But I am still thinking velocity and RPM's will reduce over a given range????

Thinking that is where I always get in trouble..
