[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 954077, member: 50867"] I believe Berger is describing the Dynamic Stability issue that Bullet Bumper mentioned above to explain that the bullet develops a slight yaw which is eventually overcome and the "excitement" in the bullet's dynamics settles down to stabilize it's flight. (read physics descriptions on gyroscopic precession and angular momentum). If you spin a top or gyroscope it may initially wobble but it will often stabilize itself without outside influence. The initial instability is relatively insignificant for the hunter who is unlikely to need 1/4 MOA at 100 yards in a hunting situation but will certainly need a higher degree of accuracy at longer distances.
