[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 248041, member: 4191"] 4xforfun, What you said is what I would expect. I was hoping someone would correct me on the Coriolis drift if I was wrong. However your post doesn't sound any more confident than I am. Maybe one of the "experts" can chime in here and settle this Coriolis drift once and for all. I reported what my software produced on Coriolis drift. Both the desktop and PPC LoadBase 2.0 software provided the same results. I kid you not, it reports only right drift no matter what Azimuth (direction of fire) I input. I'll read more on it tonight and see if there's any additional clarification in the Users Manual. Course..., you could always research it and let us know what you determine? :D I'd like to know which of us is blowing hot air... [B][COLOR="Blue"]UPDATE: [/COLOR][/B] 4xforfun, Two different sources of information from the internet: 1) "There are three components to the Coriolis Effect which accounts for the apparent shift in the target position while a projectile is in flight. For rifle shooters we only need two components because we are not shooting directly away from the earth for great distances as would a missile for example. The horizontal component of this rotation results in a shift of impact point to the right (compared to line of sight) in the Northern hemisphere and to the left in the Southern hemisphere. There is also a vertical component which is caused as the target rises while it follows the arc of rotation. A due North (or South) will not have a vertical component but all other directions will have at least some Coriolis vertical component." 2) This force tends to curve an object to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. An observable example would be that the air moving outward from a high becomes clockwise wind and air moving into a low becomes counterclockwise wind. Finally, read and research more on this LRH Thread >> [url]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f19/coriolis-effect-4124/[/url] In conclusion, I believe your post was hot air. It looks like Coriolis drift is always to the right in the northern hemisphere, and always to the left south of the equator, no matter the Azimuth of fire. But please let us know if you find references that suggest otherwise? [/QUOTE]
