Let's talk about twist on 6br

I haven't read all these posts but they is a world of difference between. .2 inch groups and true 0.0something groups. Of multiple occurrences
Which normally takes a slower twist barrel. Not saying a 8 twist won't do it. Just that the 13.5 twist can get it done more often with good tune

Yes, there is. There is also a lot of difference in the internet and in the real world. But if something wins with any consistency at all in any registered short range BR discipline, it's real. There's no faking your way though that game and if it ain't up to par, you can't luck your way into winning in any of their bigger matches. Small club match..maybe but not at the top. A big match being the best equipment, the best shooters and on their best day(s). And the bigger matches will often have 100+/- shooters. So you typically have to beat more than a few guys that are also on their best day. That's what I love about the big matches. I rank them higher than the year end points, even...but that's me. Lots of things go into the various points systems but a Nationals or big match is head to head against the best of everything. No flukes at those.

You agreeing or disagreeing with that there before?
 
All of this 8 twist stuff begs the question about freebore: if you’re chambered with enough freebore to clear a 105 bullet, won’t you be drowning in freebore when you shoot a 60?

I’m not saying jump ruins accuracy but having a slower twist and shorter freebore would seem to give the additional benefit of seating into jam.
