Will it stabilize at sub-sonic velocity?

Howdy all!

I have a Savage 223 with 1-7 twist and am interested in loading some of the several hundred 70gr semi-spitzer flatbase bullets I have with Trailboss.

The bullets in question vary by about .005" running .795"-.800". Will these long bullets stabilize in the fast twist at subsonic velocity?

Thanks,

I would think so but why don't you load some up and shoot them.

Thanks for the link.

I would have said "probably" with out the formula.

A bad day at the range is better than a good day at work.
