[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 239616, member: 4191"] Most rifles have right-hand twist rifling, which causes spindrift to occur towards the right. You could only have spindrift towards the left if the rifling in your barrel is left-hand twist. Lastly, spindrift doesn't become very pronounced until shooting past 500-600 yds. The farther the distance you shoot, the greater the spindrift for each additional 100 yds of range covered. Myself, I never saw it showing up with my rifles out to 600 yds in the past. It's there at 600 yds - just not enough to be concerned about unless you're trying to hit houseflies first shot at that distance. It didn't become obvious to me until shooting 1000 yards. There would be much more spindrift from 1000 to 1500 yds than from 500 to 1000 yds. [/QUOTE]
