    This (the greenhill formula) and works for any copper and lead core bullet. Sometimes a bullet starts out stable but as speed drops precession sets in and no hits on target.

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds
