[QUOTE="4xforfun, post: 719208, member: 9172"] Of course outside or exterior balistics have a bearing on the flight of a bullet. POI can change drasticly due to temp, Baro,ect....wind can blow it all over hell, but the ACCURACY will not change. If you can shoot a 5 inch group at 1k in calm conditions, you can do the same thing in a 20 MPH wind if it stays constant....If you can shoot a 5" group at sea level, you can do it at 15000 feet....only the POI changes. Same with baro (to a much smaller degree).....you groups will be the same size, just your POI will change. Coriolis...spin drift...ect...all exterior forces. If you can shoot a 5" group shooting east, you can do it shooting west...only the POI changes. NOBODY said that exterior balistics have NO effect on the flight of a bullet...just no effect on accuracy...as long as the conditions holds through your string. [/QUOTE]
