Need For Faster Twist
Just read an article written by a guy that has a stain on his rep (Toby) but I have to say, I agree with his findings on this particular subject. The need for faster twist barrels in the .50 caliber market. I personally believe that longer, more B.C. efficient bullets would seriously increase not only the energy at range, but also the accuracy OVER all ranges. But the accepted 1:28 twist barrels that are currently the norm in the industry just can't cut the mustard with longer more B.C. efficient bullets. Even just a smaller increase to 1:26 would help a LOT. But taking it to 1:24 would give use the twist needed to be able to explore a much larger inventory of rifle bullets. It would also open up the abilities of manufacturers such as Lehigh to develop longer more efficient bullets like the CF line 200gr that we with .50 caliber 1:28 twist rifles just can't quite get stabilized. I believe it was Semi that tried to get them to work and just couldn't quite get them right. Had he had maybe a 1:26 twist they probably would have been absolutely perfect.
What are your thoughts on this subject and do you feel like maybe we should start a push for faster twist barrels?
