[QUOTE="hopmartin, post: 5705021, member: 20383"] My opinion/experience only... The biggest difference maker for this cartridge is the twist rate. Just looking at the velocity and mass aren't going to impress you that much, compared to what's been done in the past for slow moving projectiles with decent mass. The twist rate is what's crazy about this one. I don't know of anything that's spinning as fast as 8.6 BLK when it leaves the barrel. I shot one from a very compact bolt gun a few months ago. It sounded like a 22lr leaving the barrel, but a freight train when it hit the target. It's worth keeping an eye on. [/QUOTE]
