Thinking about your comments on the tangent Ogives. Do you mean that the increased frontal drag results in an air brake effect and moves the center of pressure forward, creating the wobble earlier in the arc? The Secant bullets have more weight further toward the rear, which would help keep the CoP more rearward allowing more consistent flight characteristic further along the arc path. This would also lend my uneducated brain to conclude that they are also more likely to nose up beyond the maximum ordinate, but that's just a theory. You've given me more to go read about. Thanks a lot...
