Barrel twist

[jimbires]

here's an article on twist rates relation to stopping power , in handguns . I thought it was worth the read .

An Official Journal Of The NRA | Spin Difference: The Impact of Barrel Twist Rates on Terminal Performance

When most shooters think of rifling-twist rates, they mostly think of rifles with their high BC projectiles, but the rpm of a bullet also plays a part in terminal performance.

Agree with you, and I am also excited about the quarter bore bullets coming out. Just finished a 25 CM with 128 ELD-X bullets. Shoots great with high BC value. Using Shilen ratchet with 1:7 twist on a 24” tube proven to be very good at long range.

Would love to hear what loads you were trying in the 25 CM with the 128 gr ELD-X!
Haven't found actual load data for this bullet yet, but am looking at trying VN555, H4350, Re-16, StaBall 6.5, and Superformance.

Have you tried the any of the new Sierra 131 gr TGK yet?

i'm awaiting on a 25creed AR barrel (7T) and have 128edl-x, 131smk (not tipped) and a few others (128's are the lowest weight i have that's cup-n-core) including barnes 100tsx-bt's for some high speed which could get me over 3,300fps with the 26" barrel (+3 gas).
