We have to talk.

Barrel resonance.

Every barrel vibrates at a frequency when a bullet pass through it.

You want the bullet to leave the barrel at the crest of the sine wave on either side of that vibration.

Different bullet weights, different “ring” frequencies.

That is why all sniper barrels are very heavy bull barrels...they don’t change point of aim with that vibration.

Different bullet weights, different “ring” frequencies. And different barrels have different frequencies generated by the same bullet.

With a lightweight barrel you want the bullet and the barrel to match.
