4 shots .25 cal Kodiak/Baracuda pellets 31 gr, BSA Hornet .25 cal air rifle 895 fps mv.

71 yards nice group of 3 shots "Musta pulled the second shot. Yeah, 7:00 o'clock low that's 'cause of x#@8y^*z so Bill reckons".

OK, watch # 2 shot and think what may have happened to its Drag coefficient...

Right ... that's a BB gun but - wouldn't happen to my rimmies ........ would it? ....... Nah they're made proper like. ... Could it?
Well we might just test that one day. ............. Kind regards, Yrrah.

That pellet was generating lift in different directions... Some kind of gyroscopic precession caused by an out-of-balance pellet I'm guessing.

Very interesting :)

You picked it I think. The trick is to identify that one before you shoot it :lol: Well, some you can and some have it all hidden.
My last iteration of the Yrrah Roll Test has reduced the % of fliers. ....... KR, H.
