[QUOTE="loosesniper2000, post: 594412, member: 18477"] I would say that it is the distance. Let's use a spinning top for an example. Once you initially spin it, the top wobbles momentarily then stabilizes (this would be the yaw) after the bullet reaches its maximum distance (remember the top) the destabilization begins to occur. which is similar to the yaw once created outside of the barrel. This explains why heavier bullets sometimes shoot better at longer distances. Also this is why it's important to have the correct spin on the bullet. To summarize things, once the bullet goes subsonic at extended distances variables affect accuracy at a higher degree when the projectile is running out of steam. That's why VLD bullets tend to do better down range. [/QUOTE]
