[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 176835, member: 4885"] [b]My SWAG (simple wild *** guess)[/b] I would 'guess' that actual 'lift' does exist for bullets whose axis of rotation is slightly canted upward from their line of flight. I suspect that different bullet shapes fly at different 'tilts' and this is what causes some of the difference we are all talking about. The above is simply a guess from a guy that hasn't had enough sleep this week and has had entirely too much caffeine; so take it for what its worth. Later, AJ [/QUOTE]
