I'm intending to put together a nice little long-range squirrel sniper in a few weeks, and have a question to put to all you fellow ARFers out there. I've heard heard all the rampant rumours and superstitious gobbledeygook passed down from a friend of a friend about the "meat-axe" effect of the 1:14 twist in Vietnam. The place I'm intending to order my barrel from offers it in a 1:10 twist, or a 1:14 twist. I have three questions I guess.

#1 - At what distance can I expect the bullet will begin to tumble?

#2 - Most importantly, does the tumbling adversely affect accuracy? Is a 1:14 only going to be worth shooting at CQC distances?

#3 - Is there even such a thing as a "meat-axe" effect? I realize that the accounts of severed limbs and whatnot are exaggerated, but the idea of a wound cavity the height of the length of the bullet would be nice. Does it really work that way?

I know these are newbie questions, but I'm still very new to the world of the Big Black Rifle with the Tiny Bullet. Be kind, and thanks in advance for your input!
