[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1762143, member: 87243"] There is evidence to show that a low s.g. can lead to a bullet tumbling, especially in bullets like Bergers that have a small hollow point that is more prone to being closed off on impact if it is somewhat unstable. However in the o.p.'s case, where he is using a tipped bullet at relatively close range, I wouldn't be too concerned. And it obviously worked. If he was going to be possibly taking a 600+ yard shot, I would start to be more concerned. [/QUOTE]
