[QUOTE="edge, post: 162487, member: 5030"] Not an expert, but that seems counter intuitive to me. The main reason for spin stabilization is to counteract the heavy base. If you shoot a FMJ bullet into a fluid medium and it will always end up facing tail first. IMO, if you shot a bullet backward it will require much less spin, perhaps none to fly straight. The nose out of balance issue would definitely favor a low mass product....IMO. Meaning the aluminum tip. edge. [/QUOTE]
