Stability Input Data Caliber: 0.400 in Bullet Weight: 215.0 gr Bullet Length: 1.000 in Plastic Tip Length: 0.000 in
Muzzle Velocity: 2300.0 ft/s Barrel Twist: 28.0 in
Temperature: 59.0 °F Pressure: 29.92 in Hg Output Data Stability: 1.063

Using a 1-28 at 2300fps the bullet is on the very bottom edge of stability.
