Does rifling direction matter with bullet design?

So now we all have to be observant of the direction of flow of the flushed toilet. All three of the American Standard toilets in my house flush clockwise.

Started this argument at work recently, which direction do you spin the electrode when puddle welding? My boss told me to shutup....

Now what if the rifling of the gun spun the bullet in the opposite direction that was intended?

Climb drift and spin drift are real. So yes the direction of your twist does have an effect if you are shooting at long range.

Most of us will never notice.


I don't like gimmick ammo so I won't be able to experiment with the bullet in question.

Consider the NovX ARX:

It appears that the strakes are slanted in a counter-clockwise direction. Would its effectiveness be dependent on which way it was rotating when it hit its target?

I believe that bullet is designed to work WITH the hydrostatic pressure created in flesh. Those flutes would channel body fluids and flesh back through the groove, then channel it sideways to create a larger wound cavity.
