    Ohhhhhh, good thread!!

    The theory is solid but I have not seen any measurable difference that I could attribute solely to the twist rate.

    I guess you would have to shoot the same projectiles through the same barrel but somehow changing the twist rate (obviously impossible) to see the differences?

    Also, I would have thought the projectile that was still spinning the fastest as it dropped transonic would be the most stable. All things being equal.
