Range Report Miller stability formula

[taseal]

So according to it, I should get a 1:2 twist barrel, and I will have stability numbers out of this world.

1:12 tw 178amax @2645 - 1.753
1:10 tw same thing - 2.525
1:2 tw same thing - 634.114

Am I not understand this? I think the higher the stability number, the better?

Re: Miller stability formula

Generally you want to stay above 1.4 per Bryan Lintz but I have run bullets down as low as 1.15 with good results. YMMV

No your not understanding this concept at all.

Here is a good place to start:

Bullet imbalance and twist
