[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 178321, member: 4885"] A bullet doesn't maintain the same spin to forward velocity ratio during its entire trip though, does it? My understanding is that the velocity degrades at a greater rate than the spin, therefore the 'appropriateness of the spin' changes during the flight and can cause the attitude the bullet has to its trajectory to change somewhat, causing the Yaw of repose to not be consistent and therefore the bullet may appear to have lift. It is my understanding, that this is why different bullets have different absolute amount of drop over time (the subject of the original question). As always, I await being corrected ;-) AJ [/QUOTE]
