Better not tell the wildcatters that. Or anybody that does pressure testing. That must be your own little private secret.
So enlighten us all oh great one.




I would think more grooves would allow the bullet to spin more which would allow for more stability.
Spin is imparted by revolutions over distance. IE: 1 revolution in 10 inches. The number of grooves doesn't have anything to do with the twist rate.
