nice study of what happens to brass during firing.

nice discussion, worth a read. Gets pretty technical in a mech eng way fast, but still understandable for the average engineer.

the same site has a nice discussion about hammer forging barrels and what it does and doesn't do for accuracy.

Good article, thanks.

Boatright recently published a 2 part article on coning bullet motion during wind induced yaw and the vertical dispersion that a pure wind value can cause during flight. The second article is published in July 2011's Precision SHooting. I can't remember when the first half was published but I remember seeing it in the past few months.
