I think the Greenhill formula is good reference, but it was empirically developed in the 1880's. Today, there are several new formulae to use that include more attributes to consider. Berger bullets has one on their website.
Today, better barrels, chambers, throat leades, lapping barrels to have a slight choke, all contribute to a better understanding of stability. Heavier bullets do require faster twist, that is an established fact. However, the extreme twist rates are no longer needed.
Second observation, the Savage .22 High-Power was a .228 bore and a heavier bullet with faster twist. This 98-grain bullet might be for the Savage cartridge.
