A barrel with 1-7" twist is needed to stabilize the long for caliber high BC bullets, and a 1-10" twist will stabilize more conventionally shaped bullets. But if I want to shoot the conventional bullets in a fast twist barrel, if I reduce the velocity to get the same rotations per second, will the bullet be stable and not come apart due to excess spin forces?

@Ray B
The rotations will remain the same for a given twist unfortunately
