    The hammer petals are capitalising on the projectiles energy stored in RPM

    Energy that’s not as well utilised in std cup n core projectiles

    For years we found better wound channels in 1 in 8 7mm barrels than 1 in 9.25 and it diddnt take long to work out why

    With any chambering if you tighten the twist up a notch and if the projectile deforms suitably (or has petals) on impact, you will notice a more suitable wound channel.

    RPM does not decay at the same rate as FPS, in fact it hardly decays at all over the external ballistic flight time of a projectile.
