I would like to know the relation between rifling phenomenon, loss of High due to its weight, and the range of a shot.
Thank you in advance!
In any case, you need to shoot. So it is done by hunters and snipers.
Qualitatively, the projectile height will be higher with rifling, as rifling helps to reduce the aerodynamic drag and prevents end to end rotation of a bullet.
The range cannot be commented with certainty unless it is shot at same height in a straight path above the ground. In this case, the range with rifling will be longer. For example, shotguns often do not have rifling and have shorter range than most comparable rifles with equal bullet weights.
One needs to spend some time to do a full computer simulation, and I doubt how many physical equations exists to model close to reality. Hope to hear from experts.
