But, did not the plastic (or, other material) tip make the bullet
longer?
That is the issue on a .22 Cal. bullet,
increasing the length by a mere 0.060" dictates a 1.0" faster twist rate! Read Modern Exterior Ballistics, or, the complete works of Brian Litz, or other readily available works regarding exterior ballistics.
