Default RE: Bullet "Rise" - Dispell the Myth

ColoradoELK, yes it can happen even without a crosswind. The yaw of reprose is most likely the factor when this is obseved.
The occurrence of the yaw of repose is responsible for the side drift of spin-stabilized projectiles even in the absence of wind.

Hope this helps.
