[QUOTE="STL_Shooter, post: 33375, member: 888"] Right-hand twist is best for the northern hemisphere, left-hand for the southern. Coriolis effect, coupled with gyroscopic precession and the effects of nutation cause the bullet to destabilize and predetonate if the correct twist is not chosen for the hemisphere in which you are shooting. If you are shooting across the equator, you are simply out of luck... [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] [ 05-03-2004: Message edited by: STL ] [/QUOTE]
