Second luger - shooter...key holing issues

OK, then what may be happening is that as the bullet exits the case and enters the rifling, the bullet being made of soft lead, is being deformed particularly at the base. As any rifle shooter can tell you the base of a bullet is the steering end, so the deformed base causes the bullet to tumble. A jacketed bullet will better maintain it's flat base, and therefore not tumble. ?quien sabe?
