[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 245389, member: 1007"] This really is alot simpler than it seems. Mathematically (and in the real world) you shouldnt have more than 6" of right hand drift at 1K in standard air density with either cartridge and load. Any FURTHER right hand impact is one of 2 things. Unknown wind or a canted rifle (due to scope misalignment) or both. Since it seems you are very sure the has been no wind and the results are always the same I would step out on a limb and say it is your scope alignment as has already been mentioned. For those that dont believe in spin drift and all the naysayers, you cannot defy physics. It is real and is NOT voodoo. ALL rifle and bullet combinations WILL yeild to at leat some spin drift. If your experiances show otherwise it is nothing more than a scope that is ever so slightly misaligned (usually accidentialy) to YOUR benefit. Personaly I set up my scopes in the smae manner. That is slightly misaligned to offset the effects of it so I dont have to adjust my windage knob for it. Believe me, it doesnt take much offset to counter it. [/QUOTE]
