[QUOTE="Blaine Fields, post: 24259, member: 183"] Dave, You're probably thinking of [url="http://www.longrangehunting.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=3&t=000029"]this discussion[/url]. However, the idea of tractability was only touched upon in passing. Now, it may be that as linear velocity bleeds off the bullet may become overstabalized due to the slower bleed-off of angular velocity. I think that was the point being addressed by the concept of "balanced flight" bullets. But even assuming a non-overstabalized condition out to 1000 yds., the question remains: 1) are bullets tractable? And, 2) what is a source of supporting evidence? [/QUOTE]
