[QUOTE="Reloader, post: 189068, member: 2555"] [b]Bullet yaw is a myth.[/b] This is not to flame anyone, just to state some facts: Spinning tops have absolutely no validity when we are talking bullets. A spinning top "goes to sleep" in a different spot every time. A large grouping load can NOT get smaller at longer distances, it is physically impossible. Simply put, a bullet leaves on a path once stabilized and only is effected by the atomosphere in which it flys(IE: wind, pressure, gravity, etc). Some bullets will leave a bbl unstabilized and can become stabilized during flight, once they become stabilized they fly on that path only effected by the atmosphere and elements apllied. These unstable bullets do not magically go back to the path the shooter wants them to like some sort of guided missle. This is an old myth and is not true, the laws of physics will not allow it. Sorry to burst some of you fella's bubbles, Reloader [/QUOTE]
