[QUOTE="justgoto, post: 1005615, member: 17125"] One word to the OP; parallax. ... A reply to Tikkamike; [URL="http://www.appliedballisticsllc.com/epswerve.html"]Epicyclic Swerve[/URL] [INDENT]The theory goes: “The bullet leaves the barrel with some degree of pitching and yawing motion. At short ranges, before the pitching and yawing damp out (i.e., before the bullet ‘goes to sleep’) epicyclic swerve is responsible for larger groups because the bullet is flying on a ‘corkscrew’ trajectory. After the bullet ‘goes to sleep’, the bullet flies straighter, allowing smaller groups at longer range”. ... The phenomenon of smaller angular groups at longer ranges was not disproven. The only thing I've shown is that if the phenomenon actually happens, epicyclic swerve is not the cause of it. [/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
