    Theoretically there is a period of maximum stability for a projectile which depends on its length, rate of rotation and velocity more than anything else.
    Think of a spinning top it starts off with a slight wobble then stableises, as it slows at some point it begins to slowly wobble a bit following an arc around the point. As it slows further the wobble gets bigger till it finally falls over same thing with bullets
