[QUOTE="Tiny Tim, post: 1695119, member: 87887"] Thanks greyfox. Each bullet structure will have it's own amount of rotational force it can withstand before self destructing. I also assume that different rifling profiles may also contribute as some are "harder" on bullets than others. Thanks to you cohunt for the post on actual scientific data. And thanks to you GeorgeS. While I realized that the spin decay rate was significantly less than the velocity decay rate which gives greater stability, I had not put together that its net affect was similar to an increasing twist rate as distance increases.
