Here is a rifle twist calculator for you:

Whether or not a projectile stabilizes or not is a function of velocity and projectile length. Longer, heavier projectiles generally need a faster twist on them than do shorter ones given similar velocities.

These formulas are not cast in stone; your individual gun may shoot a variety of weights equally well.
