More correctly how much force a bullet exerts against the sides (or walls) of the lands. I have a formula for that, but their are a lot of variables. One is the number of rifling grooves. Another is where you calculate for the pressure meaning this formula is for peak pressure (or when the bullet is moving at it's highest velocity in the barrel). The example in the formula is a .25 caliber bullet with a velocity of 2500 fps fired in a 1 and 12 rifling with 6 grooves. The answer is 4900 pounds. We know that a faster twist would raise that number. Now do those of you still feel that the torque applied to a cast bullet is enough that it is indeed the faster rifling twists that is damaging the bullet in some manner that it becomes inaccurate? Here's the formula:
