[QUOTE="jebel, post: 1524331, member: 106189"] Edit: It's likely not a stability issue. Your question inspired me to read up on the revised stability formula that takes into account bullets with plastic tips (which your bullet has). Though I don't know the length of your ballistic tip, it's most certainly long enough that it would achieve a stability factor of 1.5+. If you wanted to see this for yourself, check out two different online twist calculators. The one on the Berger website does NOT take into account the plastic tip, and results in a stability factor lower than 1.5. The one on the JBM Ballistics website DOES take into account the tip, and shows a stability factor greater than 1.5. So basically, nevermind (re twist/stability). [/QUOTE]
