[QUOTE="Michael Courtney, post: 889747, member: 28191"] This is basically right. The problem with pitch and yaw is not swerve, it is increased drag, and sometimes shot to shot variations in that increased drag which leads to unpredictable long range trajectories. Other than active trajectory control (in-flight steering), the hottest topic in external ballistics right now that the military guys are pursuing is minimizing pitch and yaw (both reducing the initial tip off rate and quickly damping out pitch and yaw) because this is the biggest factor in predicting trajectories at REALLY long range.
