Hi SteveOak! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. |
The recommended twist rate of a chambering is actually mentioned by the C.I.P. and part in their TDCC's. You can find the value in the Grooves section under the "u =" entry. Some examples http://www.cip-bobp.org/homologation/uploads/tdcc/tab-i/tabical-en-page23.pdf and http://www.cip-bobp.org/homologation/uploads/tdcc/tab-i/tabical-en-page97.pdf Since it is not dangerous to fire under or over-stabilized projectiles the twist rate value "u" can be chosen otherwise by a barrel manufacturer without breaking laws in C.I.P. member states. Since barrel manufacturers normally intend to provide customers shooting factory ammunition a satisfactory shooting experience it is common practice the follow the recommended twist rates. Customers who intend to use specialized projectiles normally custom order barrels with deviating twist rates.--Francis Flinch (talk) 19:37, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
Hello, thank you for replying. I agree, the Template:Infobox firearm cartridge should be changed. It is false to state twist rate and som eof the oter information contained there as "Specifications". The Specification box should be divided and "Specification" and "nominal values" should be segregated so as not to cause confusion. Good suggestion. Steve SteveOak (talk) 21:59, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
I have another way to approach this that would be easier to implement and still be accurate. For those items presently included in the "Specifications" box that are not actual requirements, such as "Twist Rate", note them as optional or whatever is appropriate. Please let me know if you can agree to that. SteveOak (talk) 19:01, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
Can you source your statement that Line 3 "as of October 23rd, 2016 has not yet began operations."? Ar2332 (talk) 17:15, 24 October 2016 (UTC)
Hello, I'm Philipnelson99. I noticed that in this edit to Fortune 500, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Philipnelson99 (talk) 22:25, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
