[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 356424, member: 1007"] That has been a long time theory of mine. The problem is that it would be hard to make a bullet with a very high BC and have a nose heavier than the rear. I am also of the opinion that bullets with a super high Sg factor can potentialy have more trouble making it through as any defects or concentricity issues could create a minor amount of imbalance during it's flight which when subjected to the effects of making the transition could aid in the bullet starting to destabilize faster whereas a bullet that is truely asleep may start to wobble a bit less than one that is already down that path. Understand that the above is ALL theory and I am not saying that this is how it is. I have no evidence to back any of it up. [/QUOTE]
