[QUOTE="BryanLitz, post: 251329, member: 7848"] I think the magnitude of yaw and how much time it takes to go to sleep after a given initial tip-off rate depends mostly on the gyroscopic stability of the bullet. You could get a long bullet to damp oscillations faster than a shorter bullet by spinning it way faster. In general, shorter bullets have greater gyroscopic stability from a given twist barrel which would lead to quicker dampening. -Bryan [/QUOTE]
