[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 591617, member: 13833"] You may not be missing anything:D I am not stating scientific fact but merely my own opinion. It is my belief that imperfections are amplified in bullets near BOTH ends. It makes sense to me because the heavier the tip with ANY imperfections, whether ballistic tip or simply the meplat without a tip, the more likely the bullet rotation is likely to throw it off balance. This seemed to happen when I replaced an identically shaped aluminum ballistic tip with a mild steel tip which weighed 15 grs. as opposed to 5. The accuracy went south. I realize this might not happen in every case as there could be different balance issues with different bullets in regard to jacket, core ,etc. The posters theory just seemed to support what I have experienced....Rich [/QUOTE]
