So for me this is purely academic but the question has obvious relevance.
If one were to hypothetically fire identical non-expanding bullets at identical velocities from weapons with very different twist rates would one theoretically expect different penetration?
MY thinking is that yes they would potentially penetrate differently with the tighter twist penetrating more. Again this is in a hypothetical scenario. I would expect(based on no data whatsoever!) that the tighter twist would resist veering or turning onto its side more than the other.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
