Ok so I constantly see people saying that a 1 in 9" barrel will have a hard time stabilizing a bullet weighing more than 69 gr. Now this thread is not to argue that at all, what I am wondering is if a 1 in 9" barrel will overstabilize a 55 gr projectile. My question here comes from the fact that Remington's SPS varmint in .223 has a 1 in 12" twist. I am thinking that the 1 in 9" will stabilize a 55 gr just fine, but the 1 in 12" will do better and is used because varmint rounds usually do not weigh any more than 55 gr.
Thanks for the input, and sorry if this question seems a little on the no-brainer side, I am brand new to the AR world and the stability question just keeps coming up.
