[QUOTE="tankgijohn72, post: 1420390, member: 77441"] The tip's minimal density compared to the lead won't do much to move the center of gravity of the projectile. But, the polymer tip will extend the distance between your center of pressure and center of mass increasing the moment arm that can cause instability. Either way it shouldn't drastically change the calculation. Also, its just a formula that has some amount of unknown to it. If your stability factor is close to 1.5 or lower, put holes in paper. They will tell you things the calculation won't. [/QUOTE]
