basically I’m curious if it’s theoretically possible to add little channels or grooves into a bullet for air to flow through that would generate any amount of lift which would allow that bullet to travel further?
Just want to quickly add in really enjoying all of these responses where you guys are coming up with little “hacks”. Very fun reading all of these replies!
In: Mathematics
Bullets spin for stability in flight. A non spinning bullet could do so, hypothetically, if you took care to the orientation during loading.
However, at basically every range the loss of accuracy from not spinning the bullet would far far outweighs any advantage of minor increased range.
If you need the bullet to go further, use a bullet intended to do. Meaning with more powder.
