[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1150238, member: 4191"] Bryan Litz once posted on this Forum that he wasn't confident in the science behind the stability formulas that account for bullets tipped with less dense materials. His post was in response to my post referencing a stability formula provided in Patagonia Ballistic's ColdBore 1.0 ballistic software that accounted for plastic tipped bullets. But I got the sense he didn't feel comfortable with the science supporting the formula in a broader sense. For what it's worth. . . . I do believe that less weight in the tip of bullets does reduce the barrel twist rate required for bullet stability, compared to bullets with lead all the way out to the bullet tip. Bryan may also. Bryan didn't go into a detailed explanation on his concerns, and I didn't pursue it. Mostly because I got the sense he wasn't interested in diving into a detailed post. [/QUOTE]
