On this episode, Seth is joined by Senior Ballistician Jayden Quinlan. The guys first cover the history of rifled barrels and then take a deep dive into gyroscopic stability.  They discuss what gyroscopic stability is, how to measure it and why it is necessary.  They wrap up with a discussion on how twist rate affects terminal performance, dispersion, and bullet integrity. We hope you enjoy this educational show on twist rate.
