You would be amazed at what it takes to stabilize a bullet. A .357 mag snub nose is only a 2" barrel. What's that, about 1/4 of a turn before it exits?

So, I think it really does depend on the barrel length and bullet weight.

PacNor recommends 12" or 14" I'd go with the 12" for a really short barrel.
