Dietrich on >>Straight Rifling<<

I guess the best text is:

...>>The theory behind the straight rifling goes like this: When the shot and wad column is accelerated down a smooth bore, it is free to get some uncontrolled spin as for instance by the Coriolis force, the force that makes tornadoes twist. This spin would cause centrifugal dispersion of the shot after leaving the muzzle. By guiding the shot and wad like this spin is avoided, this improving shot patterns.....,,<<
