| 0:00.0 | What's up everybody? We have 10 minutes here. Mr Ryan Muckinearns across the table from us and we are going to talk today about barrel twist rates in your rifle |
| 0:08.9 | Although this is a thing in pistols and really just any kind of firearm right? Yes. So let's talk about what |
| 0:16.2 | they are real quick and what we're referring to. I think most people get it |
| 0:18.9 | it's kind of one of the specs you see when you're looking at a new gun. The |
| 0:21.6 | twist rate of the barrel you'll see like one in seven, one in eight, one in seven one in eight one in nine what's what's going |
| 0:25.9 | on there real basic level Ryan we are talking about how many inches it takes for |
| 0:31.6 | one complete rotation of the bullet so 360 degrees of rotation |

| 0:58.0 | but effectively on the liquefied scale, |
| 1:01.0 | length and weight, the higher you go in those figures the |
| 1:04.4 | faster you need to twist the bullet so as to obtain gyroscopic stabilization. |
| 1:09.4 | Okay the only way to get a heavier bullet is to make it longer because you can just make it |
| 1:14.0 | wider around because otherwise it's not going to fit down the barrel. |
| 1:18.0 | Yeah. |
