[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 864596, member: 1521"] It's called 'magnus effect' [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_ballistics#Lateral_jump]External ballistics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url] By the time you did any calculations of it in the field, the conditions would likely change enough to negate results. I've heard of compensation at pre-chosen values of conditions(many) by turning the scope in it's mount/reseting elevation level. This would work for competitors, given all conditions known/fixed up front. [/QUOTE]
