    There are limits to what you can do with form factor (bullet shape) as you run into stability loss if it's long and I'm not sure maybe bearing surface and ogive shape make it harder to tune.
    Weight on the other hand can be increased quite a lot.
    Light bulb moment. Been using the "throw a heavier rock (if the same form) vs lighter rock and heavier will carry more energy for longer and less wind sensitive" explanation for very long and somehow I didn't think of it myself haha.

    Completely agree
