It's a beautiful morning! Sun is out, no wind, and it's warm! Mrs HoneyBadger is planting a bunch of flowers out front and HB Jr is playing in the dirt like boys should.

Dirt is underrated.. :D

I'm going to enjoy numerous containers of suds whilst laboring and toiling on the property for the majority of the day. Curb appeal, man....I need to make it more gooder.

I know I'm going to have to mess with that gas trimmer to get it going, it was runnin' kinda funny last fall.

Somebody compare and contrast 1:7 vs 1:9 twist using 55 gr boolits. Trying to explain it to one of the minions and doing a poor job.

Lobbed from my electronic ball and chain.

I was 100% wrong. Read what Crays said below. [gohome]

1:9 is slower. 1 rev in 9 inches.
Heavier bullet needs faster twist to stabilize vs. lighter bullet. Original Stoner design was 1:12, IIRC. Changed from 9 to 7 twist for heavier M855 (62g)

What have you said so far, and what is your ultimate goal? Specific diff between performance in 9 v 7, or just basics of rifling (impart spin on bullet to stabilize in flight for better ballistic)?
About to get out of my pay grade, so I'll stop now.
