i think the bottom line is when you fire a cartridge in a really fast twist barrel at high velocity the back of the bullet engages the rifling and begins to twist and the front of the bullet is stationary. the result is a bullet twisted in two in the middle and a catastrophic failure, with a puff of gray down range.
