How Bullet Weight Affects Accuracy and Point of Impact Presented by Larry Potterfield of MidwayUSA
Bullet weight significantly impacts a rifle's accuracy and point of impact. Different weights alter cartridge length, affecting the distance to the rifling and muzzle velocity, which in turn changes trajectory. Matching bullet weight to barrel twist rate is crucial for stabilization. Empirical testing at the range is the most effective method to determine the optimal bullet weight for a specific rifle.
