[QUOTE="SuperBruce, post: 2409509, member: 120544"] Here is the theory, and I don't have anything other to contribute other than a TL;DR and a link so take it with a grain of salt. Your altitude can let an otherwise unstable bullet hit the mark through the thin air, but once it hits game the spin rate may affect how the bullet tumbles (or not), it's path through the game, and possibly even expansion. Imagine a marginally stabilized bullet as a very heavy wobbly football hitting a wall of water: it may approach the wall of water straight on but once it hits it will likely tumble or go at the angle that the nose was pointed at the time of impact.
