Others companies like Ruger are too busy selling a $1,100 .308’s made out of plastic with oversized peep sights to care about performance, I think Q is a bit expensive for what it is but they produce results and the few guns I’ve shot of theirs have had minimal malfunctions, typically induced by crap ammo

Why not develop bullets like the Russian 9x39, that have the boattail longer than the front ogive. This shape delivers better subsonic stability at longer ranges because the bullet uses the long tail to stabiles itself like an Olympic javelin, where the tail is bushed to the centre of the trajectory by the oncoming wind?

[@kevinbrittingham6774]

What’s the range of that round. What gun and magazine works best for it?

[@mikerochburhns.102]

@@pineapple999100well fierce rifles are kinda known for being really expensive and really shit compared to other manufacturers. So equating quality with price isn’t always true.

[@warrenphilips8441]

Bullet composition, that is what has held back twist rates. You'll spin apart that cheap and poorly designed stuff. However, if you mass produce well designed bullets constructed with proper materials, those bullets become the cheap stuff. Guns are fancy paperweights if you can't feed them. I like the Bob Dylan aesthetic of these videos, but visualizations would be more helpful than words.

[@kevinbrittingham6774]

Someone that fully gets it. 👏🏾 Bullet companies and ammo companies have been very lazy and spoiled for the most part. They need to stop riding politic waves and spend some $ on R&D.

[@remington7009]

I think the question is how much are the bullets that can spin that fast and not come apart as soon as they leave the barrel

[@kevinbrittingham6774]

90% of off the shelf bullets…

[@errongunter7316]

Taken game with 8.6,300blk and 556 all from short fast twist barrels. Damage is far greater than same caliber from slower twist and projectiles do open immediately. Everything should be fast twist!!!!

Love the insight! I've been tempted to hunt with 300 bo suppressed and take my young daughter.

[@mrshort2379]

I agree fast twist is the way to go, and manufacturers did think of it. I am no engineer I'm just a loser. however from my understanding, the only problem with fast twist is, without using a solid projectile, most jacketed bullets spin themselves apart using fast twist.

[@kevinbrittingham6774]

Not really true. But, also, ammo companies should not only keep up, but they should be doing this work. Rather than racing Cadillacs like 3rd generation idiots.

[@Michaeldpress14]

Because Q doesn’t actually make long range precision rifles suitable for a 1000+ yard team matches, prs, NRL, etc. (At best a 17” 6.5CM fix) Going from a 10 twist to a 4 twist increases windage from 0.4 mils to 1 mil in a 308.

The 1-3 might like a different seating or velocity. A tailored load can make the difference. If just shooting factory stuff, some barrels fair better than others. A different 1-3 twist barrel could bury that 1-6 barrel accuracy.

100 years ago they didn't have the same types of modern gun powder to equal the same propellant charge that can be achieved with a Present day Rifle. Is it Possible for a 30-06 Rifle to achieve near 300 Win Mag Performance using a faster barrel twist in a 24 inch barrel for the highest stabilization of the projectile for long range shooting?
