Mathematics aside. ALL projectiles, lead or jacketed, by whatever means propelled and despite the rate of spin/twist/velocity (all irrelevant) will slow down their spin rate due to air resistance. If you don't beleive me, spend about twenty years as I have, in Stickledown butts when firers are at 1000 yards plus and listen to the bullets tubmle, see the oblong, square, oval mis-shaped holes in the target.
Balls won't tumble so much I admit but they are either part cylindrical or flat bottomed when they leave the barrel and they will all slow down/reducespin rate and tubmle. Fact!
