Shots spiralling to targetl - alwie - 11-30-2024
I loaded up some Hornady 105 gr BTHP with some N540 using Starline brass. And I was spotting for my son while he was walking in on a target at about 500 yards out. As I was watching it seemed like some of the rounds were “spiralling in” (following a helical path) to the target while others were following a standard parabolic curve. From a reloading perspective, what did I do wrong to the rounds that were spiralling in?
Thanks

A bullet following a helical path sounds like an uneven jacket thickness on that bullet to me.
I doubt it was anything that you did.
