Why do Hornets come with one in 16 twist?
First a confession. I've been shooting K Hornets for about 20 years and besides having all of the hanloading equipment for the K Hornet I just like the way the cartridge locks up in the chamber both with the rim and the shoulders bumping against the chamber. And I get totally unknown numbering of firings out of a case. So in all truth this is about a K Hornet. I hope I'm not offending anyone.
The only other twist to this is that I'll be running a suppressor and most of its life it will be pushing gas checked cast bullets in the 900 to 1,400 fps range and this project will be with a new purchase CZ 527.
The CZ comes with the common one in 16 twist barrel. I would like to have the flexibility to run heavier bullets as well as light one's. Currently I have the NOE 225-37 FN, Lyman 2660438 44 grain, 2660415 55 grain and the NOE 225-61-FN.
Wouldn't one in 12 twist rate make more sense? Thanks, Bill Cook
