Re:-
; I think that rapid twists today are responsible for the tumbling of solids when penetrating through an
animal, but have no real proof of that. In my theory, the bullet starts out overstabilized, and the attendant
slight yaw promotes tumbing whem striking the animal close in. The fast twists may be necessary for very
long range target shooting beyond 400yd., but that's a moot "Plus" for a big game rifle.
: Please correct me if I'm wrong on this theory.

Is it the rapid twists or the overly long bullet for the calibre / bullet weight ?
- or a combination of both ? It wuld be interesting to test.

The Big Bore Barnes X Bullets had a problem in that they hadn't stabilised at close range
and so entered animals on an angle (yaw).
