Barrel twist rate for 125gr bullets and and less
#5
With longer barrels, the 1/9 twist works well for stability factor. For a 16", I think it makes sense to use a 1/8 or tighter twist.

For 14.5" and shorter, AA used 1/7.5 twist I think. Twist rate, barrel length ( or more so velocity), and bullet shank length combine to determine stability.
