I think where the confusion is coming from here is people confusing a phenomenon that is known to occasionally happen, for fact. Just because it can happen under certain circumstances does not make it the rule. I would suggest that since it only seems to happen erratically and without consistent study, it must be due to some other forces not being accounted for.
Zeke, regardless of the scale, a change in direction is still a change in direction. However, I might like to think that a major part of this is the shooter and rifle system, and mostly within a reasonable expectation of accuracy from one group to the next.
I do not think it is fair to even call this a phenomenon unless this result can be displayed by measuring the dispersion of a group of shots at 100 yards. Then measuring the dispersion of the same five shots down range. Unless some other force acts upon those bullets, the dispersion downrange for the exact same group, will never be smaller than that same group was at 100 yards. This is true without aa change in direction. The only possible way for a change in direction to occur is by the application of force. SO, still not indicative of the bullet or its flight.
This really is not a complex concept
