[QUOTE="wapiti13, post: 81778, member: 2212"] XPhunter, Remember the actual point of a bullet has very little effect on flight since the air is being parted in front of the bullet. The ogive and bullet balance if much more critical on a bullet going through the air and then dropping down sub-sonic. This is a much bigger problen on handgun bullets rather than rifle bullets because of the initial velocity of each. A rifle bullet seldom goes sub-sonic, but many hanguns are barely sonic to begin with! [/QUOTE]
