[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 130789, member: 1007"] GG, You quoted: [ QUOTE ] On the flip side, a bullet that is overstabilized also has an altered bc because of the agressive yaw of repose and the nose might not follow the arc of the trajectory although it will be quite a small difference. Much smaller reduction in bc than if the bullet is understabilized of course.
