[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 398210, member: 13632"] Broz, I don't think it would be a good thing to partially compensate for coriolis and spin, the reason being that at some range you will go beyond what you have compensated for. But then if you start using Coriolis and spin in Loadbase it will be off because you have partially compensated for it in your sight in so the accuracy of the predicted trajectory would be compromised. I think a guy might want to really dig into this, the two shots you talked about are perfect examples of what I've seen and done. The one shot that was left in the direction of the wind, if you were also experiencing spin and coriolis would mean that you over doped the wind. For the most accurate wind dope we would have to know what coriolis and spin was doing because those, I think get lost in the wind dope and we end up saying there was no wind when actually somewhere in the bullet path there was but coriolis and spin took care of it, or we say there was more wind than we doped but in fact it is spin and coriolis stacking, or we say we got a bad range from our range finder because we hit a little high or low. Granted in a hunting situation very few of us are shooting far enough to see these come into play in a big way. So knowing coriolis and spin drift does matter in relation to how good our wind dope at these longer ranges using a program to calculate our dope. I maybe over thinking this but I don't think so.
