Twist rate has a negligible effect on bullet speed, under 10fps. As stated earlier, slower twist rates prevent thin-jacketed bullets from spinning apart under excessive centrifugal force.

Where are you getting your information?
I’ve run light bullets in fast twist barrels at over 4000 FPS with ZERO problems. Am I just lucky?
