Read this. Note that the Berger calculator needs environmental variables and that it's just a guess like all calculators of the type. You should also remember that bullets are not stable when they come out of the barrel. That takes time and distance. In the case of a .30-06/.308 it's about 300 yards.

Atmospheric air drag upon the rotation effects speed of spin. I am not planning on shooting in a vacuum chamber.
