[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 2361560, member: 4191"] Aluminum and plastic tips allow a lesser tip length than their actual lengths when determining stability. Courtney and Miller conducted tests, and came up with a modified model for tipped bullets, for tip material much lighter than copper/lead. Patagonia Ballistics ColdBore 1.0 software includes that model in their ballistics software, for tipped bullets. The Courtney & Miller model only considered stable flight for precision in flight. It didn't address higher stability that might be needed to improve terminal performance in game animals. [/QUOTE]
