NHD Riffling

According to "http://www.chuckhawks.com/rifle_barrel.htm" The purpose of rifling is to stabilize the bullet to increase its accuracy. This is called spin stabilizing, and works because of gyroscopic forces acting on the spinning bullet during flight. American rifle barrels traditionally spin bullets to the right. Rifling is the process or operation of cutting spiral grooves in a rifle barrel to cause the bullet to spin and accurately hit its target.
