Testing has been done in rifle bullets to prove you wrong. Not positive but the testing was done between 100 and 200 yards if you do a search on it. Bullets were fouled down before shooting. Slits were cut out of bullets. And some were almost cut in half. Crazy testing and no real effects on accuracy at 100 and 200 yards. Not for sure, but i think it would be the same for a ML?? It sure would be easy to test if i wanted to. Just dont have a reason to right now.
