[QUOTE="Joe King, post: 701047, member: 47325"] That idea of bullets settling down is misleading. Bryan illustrated it in his book, but the effect of that bullet precipitating around it's axis is exceedingly small and at no time does a stabilized bullet's nose ever make an arc that is as large as the dia of the bullet. If it did it would tumble hence to slow of twist. I myself have seen it enough times to know that grouping can indeed be smaller at 200yrds than 100, but the time the bullet needs to "go to sleep" is nearly non existent compared to what we as shooters contribute to the phenomenon. Go watch a high power silhouette match some time and talk to em. You'll find that 100m is the toughest part when conventional wisdom would have you believe that it should be the easiest. But for the majority of use we can just look at the target and realize a bullet doesn't have wings and cannot change it's fight path, we just simply shoot a little bit better a little farther down range. gun) [/QUOTE]
