Ignorance is the simple inability to understand something while stupidity is the inability to benefit or profit from experience.
Experiment and profit from those experiments.
And if you do possess information as to how to correct for asymmetrical bullets/cases/barrels then PLEASE do divulge these secrets upon the unknowing masses, for it would appear that this has perplexed ballisticians since the dawn of the firearms age.
