[QUOTE="ken snyder, post: 614654, member: 26019"] I hope that I'm not giving the impression that I do not believe in CE or its ability to change bullet flight. I honestly feel that CE should be considered but I do not have the ability to demonstrate it to myself to a degree any where near enough to observe it and learn it. I can take it as a useful fact and add it or subtract it. On the calmest November morning with Cigar smoke going straight up virtually, no wind, the ground and air at the same temperature and the sun not visible through the clouds and virtually no thermals. If I were to shoot and immediately turn around and shoot the opposite compass heading there would still be enough wind drift and differences that I personally would not be able to demonstrate its existence to myself - How can a guy learn from something that ellusive. I love November mornings because for about 20 minutes in the morning it is as close to shooting in the bottom of a Salt mine as I am likely to experience and I still am not capable of shooting the first round to a degree accurate enough to learn or use CE The bottom line for me is that I can't demonstrate it to play with it and if I can't play with it I can't learn from it and what I haven't learned I can't use [/QUOTE]
