Please correct me if I'm wrong, but when referring to the rate of twist of a rifle barrel, when they say 1:9, does that mean that the rifling has made one complete turn in nine inches? What are the advantages to have a lower rate of twist? Wouldn't a higher rate cause the bullet to spin faster helping to increase accuracy?
Sorry if this is a beat-to-death topic, but I've been trying to educate myself about rifle barrels lately and this is my latest question and I couldn't really find too much info in a search.
Thanks.
