[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 2825127, member: 7999"] I know this is technically right on. On the other hand we see long for caliber bullets holding sub half moa but then swapping ends at 1300y. Speed still well away from transonic with stability technically getting higher the farther out the bullet travels but then hitting a point the heavier end of the bullet passes the lighter front end. Which is where it wants to be and we stop it from happening by spinning the bullet. There comes a point where dynamic stability trumps ballistic stability and then it is all thrown out on its ear. It is most definitely a head scratcher. [/QUOTE]
