9.3,

I believe that 500 Grains, aka Dan McCarthy, has written articles in African Hunter Magazine on the topic, perhaps a search of their website will reveal the article. There are many references on AR too and I'll try to find a link later today.

Remember, the military would be seeking the 180* opposite result than an elephant hunter would be seeking. While they both want projectile stability in the air on the way to a target, that is where commonality ends. The military seeks bullets and spin rates, etc, that will become imediately unsatble and tumble in a target while the elephant hunter wants just the opposite.

Take as an example the US M16. Original twist rates barely stabilized the original light bullets. When the change was made to increase the bullet weight, all M16's needed new barrels with faster twist rates.
