Subsonic .17 Squirrel bullet in a fast twist barrel? ....... if I had shot these once and found them to work, then yep. Seeing as how I do not have a fast twist barrel, well, I'm pretty certain that these will just stay in the museum.

There are two ways to make them spin faster so they stabilize. #1 is to drive them at your present velocity, but with a higher rate of twist. #2 is to just drive them faster at your present ratio of twist to driven distance. Or so it seems to me. For a given rate of twist, double your velocity should start them off at a higher spin rate, and that spin should not diminish much during its brief flight.
So, how fast must we spin these things to make them work?

Real fast????????? (No one said there would be a prize for a correct answer)
