[QUOTE="varmintH8R, post: 923980, member: 39801"] I think what you are referring to is a bullet "settling down" or "going to sleep". Check out this thread, and be sure to click on the video in post #1. Also note that they are basically saying the corkscrew effect is likely only one caliber size in magnitude. [url]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f19/epicyclic-motion-bullet-video-37345/[/url] As far as testing at distance and accounting for wind. Assuming consistent shooting, my experience is that horizontal spread is often a function of how much a rifle likes a bullet and seating depth. 1MOA horizontal spread at 100yds is usually 1MOA at 500yds. Vertical can change dramatically. Once I have a combo that shoots tight at 100 or 200, I'll stretch it out on a calm day, and basically only look at vertical spread. Tighter vertical = better load.
