And the longer the bullet, the faster the twist rate required to stabilize the bullet.

Pointed, spinning at a 1/4 mil rpm, then it hits flesh.

The twist rate also affects chamber pressure for a bullet of a given mass. There is a limit to the tightness of the twist, after which the bullet merely scrapes off into the groves.

Doesn’t it have more to do with the weight of the bullet? I guess a heavier bullet will most likely be longer as well.
