[QUOTE="eddybo, post: 189890, member: 7194"] Someone just explained this to me in a new way and it made more sense to me, but I dont know if this is what happening. Someone tell me if I have my little brain somewhat wrapped around what is happening. First the bullet is fired along its intended path. Because of stabilization issues the bullet has yaw which causes gravity from the out of round rotation of the bullet to deviate from its course in a circular motion much, like water being sucked down a drain. Once the bullet begins stabilizing the unequal rotational forces acting upon the bullet which have been spinning the bullet off kilter lessen, allowing the concentric circles that the bullet has been traveling around its intended path to shrink....like the bullet actually entering the drain after it has been spinning around it. So in actuality the bullet isnt deviating from its path but is actually orbiting its path until it stabilizes? Kinda like an arrow that kicks off the rest, but is eventually stabilized by its fletchings? [/QUOTE]
