[QUOTE="Varminator 911, post: 220785, member: 9705"] [b]My take on rpm loss with distance[/b] My take from reading the discussion AJ posted is that most believe that spin slows very very little with distance. This is probably especially true for a long streamlined bullet like the HAT. But there were no absolute numbers given probably because they would be very hard to obtain and aren't significant enough to affect anything. My take is that the decay in rpm over 1000 yds is probably less than 1 percent and certainly much less than the loss in velocity. [/QUOTE]
