I know twist rates have been discussed ad nauseam. I understand the Greenhill twist formula, or at least understand how to apply it. But what's really in a twist rate? I mean, how much does it really matter, outside of extremes? For the average shooter, or even above average shooter that does more experimenting than most, how much is going outside of a 1-28 twist really going to affect anything?
It's very possible I'm a little dense, but given a 200 gr. bullet weight range, say between 200 and 400 grains, and running the velocity spreads that people hunt with, does anyone know do you really see any difference in a moderately faster or slower twist? I know there's a few with a 1-32 twist, a couple (maybe 1?) with a 1-24 twist. Does it really make a difference? Or is it more to say you have something outside of the box.
I apologize if the answer to this question is glaringly obvious to most. I just am not sure I see a few twists per inch making a difference.
