[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 491958, member: 13833"] That has been my experience. I think once the bullet ogive is turned slightly without expanding, it tends to steer the bullet that direction like a rudder. At the velocities they are traveling, it doesn't take much to swap ends, especially when twist is a little lacking. I have often seen unexpanded bullets do this in water tests. It seems when the bullet expands quickly, they tend to tumble less. I've always assumed that it is at least partly because a mushroomed bullet will have more weight forward which tends to keep the front end in the lead. Thats my theory and I'm stickin to it! The SMK's are famous for it......Rich [/QUOTE]
