[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 539994, member: 4191"] The centripetal force created due to the earth's rotation is a major force causing Coriolis bullet drift. Believe me, this is not an easy topic to get your head around. I'm an engineer by training and profession. I've had a lot of math, calculus, differential equations, and even an entry level finite element course(s) in college - but that was many years ago. It took me days of research to come to a reasonable comfort level with my understanding of Coriolis effect-caused bullet drift involving small arms fire. I don't proclaim to be knowledgeable enough to teach it. I believe I understand the phenomena well enough to be able to recognize when I should, and shouldn't, be concerned about adding dope in order to account for Coriolis drift for long range shots.
