[QUOTE="MajorSpittle, post: 1952956, member: 53101"] That is what I am guessing because it moves the CG forward so there is less leverage against the CG from the front of the bullet. So you have two identical bullets with the last 1/3 of the nose cut off (same CG): You can either make the last 1/3 of the bullet with Lead or make the last 1/3 with Poly that weighs nothing. If you make it with Lead the CG moves closer to the tip, If you make it with Poly the CG doesn't move. Now you take both bullets from being level and stationary and drop them, which bullet will turn to fall backend first faster? (poly tip) Now if you spin the bullets on axis to 200,000 rpm while being suspended by magic, which bullet will resist more force applied to the very tip to knock the bullet off axis? (i suspect the lead tip because it's tip is closer to the CG) This is how I picture it working anyway. Another way would be two identical Tops spun at the same speed but one of them has an extended tip that makes it stand twice as tall. Which top will go longer before falling over. [/QUOTE]
