External Ballistics: Effects of bullet construction on bullet accuracy.

Here is an excellent video podcast by Hornady Engineers on the effects of bullet construction on its accuracy on target after it leaves the barrel.

Effects of bare Muzzle crown
Effects of bare Muzzle device, e.g. Muzzle brake construction and venting pattern.
Effects of center of gravity of bullet in the horizontal, vertical, and front/back
Effects of wind vectors on the bullet pointing up/down even when wind is full force left/right
Effects of the use G1/G7 in exterior ballistic solvers and what simulation model they use
Effects of 12 o'clock wind on the bullet pointing up/down on initial bullet jump and dynamic stability effects
Effects of 0/12 o'clock wind on the effective Bullet velocity (effective positive or negative air drag), that can be accounted for as either lower/higher BC or higher/lower MV
Effects of spin drift
Failures of old-school (simplified trajectory calculations) ballistic solvers in predicting the bullet trajectory in the transoceanic region.
