[QUOTE="jasent, post: 1597253, member: 28233"] “ Most rifle bullets eventually achieve hyper-stable flight if they fly far enough. Gyroscopic stability Sg increases throughout the flight. By achieving it right out of the muzzle, however, the rifleman is minimizing yaw-drag on his bullets during the critical first several coning cycles of flight where the bullet's coning "angle-of-attack" is usually largest and where the "potential drag force" (q*S) is always its very highest.” Jim Boatright [/QUOTE]
