If we're not loading directly down the centerline axis of the bore, our off-axis pressure will combine with PIV to make our crosshairs hop off our point of aim.

Accuracy testing, Pt. 1

Many have criticized this feature, claiming a short neck would not hold a bullet in proper alignment with the axis of the bore.

With a 1911, the axis of the bore sits lower to the hand than many of the more modern guns it competes with.

Shootability factor

Since the Foster slug is almost as wide as it is long and considerably smaller than the bore to boot, it may or may not perfectly align itself with the axis of the bore during firing.

New twist: a design before its time is worth a look for modern slug hunters

Usually, though, most of the weight (stock, receiver, magazine, lockwork, triggerguard and floorplate) is below the axis of the bore.

Recoil management: how you hold makes all the difference

Good gunsmiths like Weigand carefully machine the crown square with the axis of the bore and ensure that no little burrs or other deformities are present.

Questions & answers

Mechanically driven parallel anvils extend simultaneously, and their consistent pressure results in more accurate readings and true alignment to the axis of the bore.

Bore gage

The bases of bullets seated with run out will not be perpendicular to the axis of the bore, causing tipping upon exit.

Better ammunition: no matter how proficiently the gunsmith performs his work, no gun will shoot bad ammo well enough to win

Add to that the straight-line stock design, which puts the shooter's shoulder in direct alignment with both the recoil axis of the bore and the linear axis of the gas-impingement, minimizing muzzle flip and subjective recoil.

AR accuracy: the benchmark: precision shooting is easier to obtain-and maintain-with the Stoner setup than with anything else

The vast majority of the rifles used here are of military origin so the issue of mechanical off set or the difference between the height of the sight and the center axis of the bore comes into play.
