I think you are looking at it from a velocity stand point where what you are actually talking about is the Greenhill Formula...

This states that for a given bore diameter and length of bullet there is an optimum twist rate to stabilize the bullet...It's pretty hard to spin a bullet too fast, kinda like it's hard to spin a top too fast...Too slow and it starts to wobble, too fast and it's fine...
