A 24 inch 1x12 will stabilize (up to a) a 62gr projectile every bit as good as an 18 inch 1x9. Bullet weight has nothing to do with the equation. Bullet LENGTH and barrel-length x twist-rate means everything. Also a 62gr flat base projectile will be more readily stabilized than 62gr boat tail in any barrel because it is shorter... however it retains it's stability for a shorter length of time (not distance) compared to the BT.TheProRiflehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11442790568592286666noreply@blogger.com
