[QUOTE="Laelkhunter, post: 1123207, member: 38154"] I was reading a post a while back about "Epicyclic Swerve". Bob McCoy wrote extensively about it in his book "Modern External Ballistics". I won't even try to explain it in detail, but it has something to do with the bullet not stabilizing until further downrange, and it (the bullet) tends to travel in a corkscrew pattern until it does stabilize. I had never heard of it before, but Mr. McCoy has a vast better knowledge on the info than I ever do. Could this explain what you saw? [/QUOTE]
