Just got back from the range and threw a couple hundred rounds of that dreaded hoarded ammo into a pile of dirt and it was very enjoyable to know I was doing my part.

Drift associated with the bullet rotation. Air density changes with temperature changes. Never know how much it changes in 25 yards. Relative humidity. And we really haven't investigated the affects of cosmic rays and black holes in galaxies far, far away, so we cannot say definitely how much affect they may have. We are shooting with the whole universe arrayed against us.

I have a witch doctor that mkes me a special bullet lube that is attracted to plastic like a strong magnet to steel.

I never doubted the existence of a little witchcraft when it came to BAOM... Plastic attracted bullets...., who knows what might be dreamed up next. Us poor Georgia red necks can't afford all that skuldruggery, or however it is pronounced.

Next thing you know it will be the northern lights making his bullets go astray. At least we don't have to worry about northern lights here in the south. Right, Kaz? TB

The witch doctor is now trying to conjure up a brass magnet, wish him luck.
