Yes. When the 55 grain M193 cartridge was introduced, it was originally intended to be used in a 1 in 14 pitch barrel, but this was later changed to 1 in 12. 1 in 9 will still get satisfactory results with 55 (and lighter) grain 5.56 and .223 cartridges, and is actually the ideal pitch for the 62 grain NATO (SS109 and M855) cartridges. However, the military went with a 1 in 7 pitch, because it could achieve matching flight characteristics from both the 62 grain FMJ rounds and the 64 grain tracer cartridges.

The most dynamic rate of pitch is 1 in 8, which is capable of stablising everything from the 55 grain cartridges, up to the 80 grain .223 Wylde cartridges.

How does the grain of the bullet affect the accuracy of the shot?

The grain of a bullet refers to its weight. Heavier bullets typically have better stability and accuracy compared to lighter ones, as they are less affected by wind and other external factors. However, the specific gun, barrel length, and shooting conditions also play a significant role in determining accuracy.

What is the function of the rifle in shooting an elephant?

Basically, a rifle is a place to direct the explosion of gunpowder directly to the bullet to increase the efficiency of gunpowder so the bullet can travel faster, and increase the bullet's momentum so it does more damage. The rifle also is used to increase the accuracy of the bullet. By focusing the blast directly behind the bullet, the bullet is more likely to travel in the intended direction. Striations in the rifle also spin the bullet so it corkscrews forward, making the path of the bullet straighter.
