[QUOTE="Petey308, post: 2775902, member: 106845"] The tumbling mostly occurred upon impact. The slow twist rate made the bullet very easily compromised. They’d be just stable enough to track pretty true in flight (to the typical ranges they were used), but rather them punch straight through, they’d immediately start tumbling on impact, as they had no terminal stability. The 308s and 50s were different, and designed different. [/QUOTE]
