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!

Not really as that would impact the spin imposed by the rifling in the barrel. Before a round is fired the casing and the bullet are smooth. The spin is caused by the grooves (rifling) inside the barrel. If you added grooves before that they would work against the rifling and stop the round from spinning.
