I tried 227-80, a .917” long bullet, in a Striker with measured carefully 12” twist barrel. It didn't stabilize, wouldn't stay on the paper at 100 yards.
OU812 wrote, here, of an improved NOE 227-80, .82” long without gas check, that stabilized in a 12” twist barrel.
I FILED 227-80 BULLETS TO .82” LONG, FIRED THEM IN THE STRIKER, WITH 6/TITEGROUP AND THEY WENT THROUGH THE PAPER AT 50 YARDS, SIDEWAYS.
OU812 SENT me some gas checked and lubed bullets that are .89” long and weigh 76.5 grains.
The Greenhill Formula (my weight est) says: A .224” DIA. BULLET .89” LONG MINIMUM TWIST IS 8.5”, EST. BULLET WEIGHT IS 82.3 GR. A .224” DIA. BULLET AND 12” TWIST BARREL WILL STABILIZE A BULLET .627” LONG, EST BULLET WEIGHT IS 58 GR. Today I shot 5 into .75” at 50 yards, there is no visible tipping.
This bullet shouldn't be anything like stable, based on the constant of 150 and assuming s.g. is something like 10.9. Note that the Greenhill cite, I'll put it up, says that the constant of 150 can be replaced with 200, and the bullet is stable. (bottom of first page.) The Greenhill formula with constant of 195, .224” and .89” as above, has a minimum twist of 11” per revolution. Greenhill remains correct.
