[QUOTE="Allen Kitts, post: 1800255, member: 103317"] I am curious to see what you guys all do for sighting in your long range rifles at 200 yards as far a windage goes. I went to a long range shooting class where they told us that we should sight our rifles in slightly left of center (1") at 200 yards so that it would keep the bullet still in the kill zone at 1000 yards due to the rifling of the barrel being a right hand twist. Seemed to make sense to me. I am just wondering how much does the rifle barrel twist rate affect the left and right windage on any given barrel/bullet combination. I am sure there are articles out there I could read on the subject but it is more fun getting insight from all you guys and your experiences. Thanks in advance for indulging me. [/QUOTE]
