Fab,
The rate of twist is faster with a lower number. 1-8 is faster than 1-18. The heavier the bullet the lower the number, the faster the twist, to stabalize the bullet.
Example, optimum twist rate; a 30 cal., 150 to 200 = 1-10 twist while a 220 to 250 should have a 1-8 twist.
Twist rates and velocity might just be the area in shooting for largest amount of erronious information and old wives tales.
