[QUOTE="Dirtybob1, post: 204161, member: 2382"] I also understand this to be the case. The disruption in flight created when the bullet transitions from rotating on the axis of the bore to the axis of the bullet will reduce the dynamic BC of the bullet. When you find a bullet/barrel combination with minimmal disruption from axis to axis (i.e., a fast transition) you have found what famed BR shooter Tony Boyer called a Hummer - a gun that seems to cheat the wind. The dynamic BC is higher than expected because the bullet stabilzes sooner. To borrow the football analogy, anyone who has thrown a football knows that a ball thrown with a good stabile spin when it leaves the hand with go further and straighter than the same ball thrown with a wobble that stabilizes at 20 yards. Wobble is not aerodynamic. [/QUOTE]
