[QUOTE="BryanLitz, post: 494399, member: 7848"] I agree with Gropers assessment of what geometric and mass properties are good for a bullet's transonic stability. A recent example of such a bullet is the Berger 175 Tactical OTM which I designed specifically for transonic stability: [url=http://www.appliedballisticsllc.com/TacticalAmmo.html]308Tactical[/url] Increasing twist rate can help a little, but the biggest outside influence is atmospherics. Many bullets that are not transonic stable at sea level are so at 3000+ feet elevation. -Bryan [/QUOTE]
