[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 669796, member: 30902"] This accelerating twist idea intrigues me. Faster twist slower bullet, higher pressure. Less twist in the first foot of barrel it would seem would lower pressure and allow for higher velocities because less force is needed to push the bullet but as the bullet travels down the tube and the twist increases since there is still powder burning and gas expansion the pressure would then be more even throughout the length of the barrel. Interesting concept. We'll see I guess if more mfg's try this on a wider range of calibers in the future. [/QUOTE]
