Thread: Will all bullets eventaully tumble?

So another question arising from our weekend long range gong shooting. Which by the way was soo much fun. As the title says will all bullets eventually tumble given enough range to travel over and is it predictable?



Shooting my 7mm Rem Mag with a 1:8 twist barrel. Sierra 168gr Match Kings @ 2960fps. At 1615m retained velocity of 970fps 22mil dialed on and bullets impacting sideways. This was not expected should it have been? Transonic was at about 1370m. The other rifle we were shooting a 260 Rem using Lapua 139gr Scenars had the same thing happen at 1405m.



I also got my long suffering wife behind the Remington and she made a hit at 1615m as well.
