Biggest Cause/Factor of Stock Torque?

Nodak7mm

Team Lefse
Pondering and wondering what single factor contributes the most to a rifle torquing in the bag? As it pertains to a F-Open rig..

Form (how rifle is held and controlled) ?
Stock Design ?
Cartridge Recoil/Power ?
Front or Rear bag ?

Interested in your comments...

Rod
 
Most important factors are
Twist rate, faster twist rates torque over more.
Bullet weight and diameter, more of each give more torque.
More velocity with the same bullet will increase torque.
Stock design, a flat 3" forend doesnt usualy torque over with 6mms, but will start doing it with a 7mm.
I went with an offset forend in my newest F Open gun, but now get reverse torquing, the gun flops over to the right on firing, most likely the stock bouncing back a bit and flopping onto the side with less support.
To counteract torque when shooting my 7mms, I use a firmer handhold.
 
For me it is form (natural point of aim). I shoot 600 yard benchrest mostly and if I get rushed (time, conditions, etc.) and have torqued the rifle to get back to the center I can really tell it after the shot breaks.
