[QUOTE="Milepost, post: 1446208, member: 104022"] But if you drill out the bullet aren't you effectively changing its SD and thus actually lowering the BC of the bullet? Yes, the C.D.( coefficient of drag ) will stay the same but the mass of the bullet is deceased and thus so is the kinetic energy. So, although the bullet would exit the barrel faster it would slow down quicker too. Also, the reduction in mass would slightly decrease the gyroscopic effect to some degree. [/QUOTE]
