[QUOTE="davewilson, post: 96761, member: 4491"] the reason is "yaw" not a southern term i might add.when a bullet exits the barrel this sudden unsupported state causes the bullet to fishtail but not in a sideways motion but in a circular corkscrewing path.the back of the bullet is always farther away from the centerline of travel than the front of the bullet is.this is how the bullet comes back to the same centerline of travel.i once shot at targets placed at 35,75,125, and 200.took 1 shot at each target and then another range until i had 4 shots in each target. my group size at the first 3 ranges was very close to .75" and 200 was around an inch. i agree with Dick, the better everything is matched up, the less it will yaw in the begining and the better it will be downrange.
