Long Range 101 Part 69 - Bullet RPM & Overstabilization

Rifle bullets often spin at over 200,000 RPM! This generates a tremendous 'centrifugal force' which can have some interesting effects on a bullet's external ballistic performance. In this video, Rex explains overstabilization and how it stiffens up a bullet's spin axis to where it experiences a loss in tractability which can lead to increased bullet yaw and spin drift at extreme long ranges.
