[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1216672, member: 50867"] Your bullet will loose it's optimum stability long before it slows down to 1100 fps. I usually use 1300 fps as the transonic upper edge where I can expect instability to become an issue. Even boat tail bullets can get into trouble at those velocities. Once he bullet becomes unstable any strikes on target are no longer "aimed", IMO. Odds are that if enough bullets go down range some will eventually make contact somewhere on the target. But, IMO, it's akin to throwing rocks at tin cans - anyone can hit a can once in a while. [/QUOTE]
