The idea of the twisted magazine is to make the cartridges in the magazine point off center, so that pointed bullets don't contact the primer of the cartridge in front of it.
Some of the loads in the Remington series of cartridges that the 14 was chambered for used round nose or pointed bullets, rather than the typical flat point bullets that most cartridges used in tube magazines have.
