    Twist rate relative to barrel length

    I have a 1:11 twist which I have just confirmed stabilizes 190 sub-x right down to 630fps. Its factory length maybe 22-24".

    My question is will cutting the barrel to 15" change the stabilization? Target speed will remain the same e.g 1000fps.

    Would be a shame to cut the barrel for a specific reason, then it doesn't actually do what I cut it down for...

    Cheers
