No wonder the old .223 rifles with 1:9 twist would not stabilize the heavy bullets. I did a comparison and it takes 16% more revolutions to stabilize a 75gr in 1:7 twist over the 55gr in the 1:9 twist. I had a rifle with the 1:9 and it would keyhole the heavy ones.
The difference in the example is 705 feet per second increase in revolution for the 75gr. Just curious.
