Stabilizing bullets has more to do with bullet length than weight from what I understand. Lighter Barnes bullets are longer for their weight because the solid copper is less dense than lead. 22 caliber barnes 52gr bullets won't stabilize in some rifles that shoot 55gr bullets fine for this reason.

Also. long range bullets usually have a long, slender, boat tail design to get the higher BC numbers.
