Destabilization speed for Diablos

So an interesting take away for me or my AHA is that "as the weight of the pellet increases, it can tolerate more speed" all other factors being the same. That said the lighter the pellet, the more likely you will need to reduce power to maintain levels of accuracy. This also suggests to me why slugs and higher calibers seem to thrive on higher power outputs when all other factors are the same. Thoughts?

That's been my experience too.

@cavedweller If I remember correctly I read somewhere that some minor spin can be beneficial. I think its better for a diabolo pellet to be either non spinning or very slowly than faster. So a 1: 32 twist will give better results across different pellet weights than a 1:14 twist. I also think the 1:32 will be more consistently accurate. I could be wrong and of course two barrels are never identical and you always get differing results if you test enough.
