[QUOTE="Brent, post: 33381, member: 99"] Spin drift will combine/stack up with coriolis error, same direction ( to the right) I mean, for a right twist for us northern shooters.

To derive the exact formula for your gun and specific handload, one must collect data in a lab environment that none of us can afford to build. Then you would have to have a serious computer with you in the field to make atmospheric inputs and inputs on the concentricty of the bullet that very few have the ability to measure. My point is it is too impractical for the average physicist much less the average shooter. So I caution you that this is an approximation simplified from a mid point in bullet b.c., gyroscopic stability factor, and conditions. Yaw of repose is a result of a law of gyroscopic precesssion affecting a bullet spinning 180,000 or more Rpm, being acted on by the force of gravity. Any gyro (bullet) when unconstrained, will move 90 degrees to the force acting on it. You may prove this by spinning a light plastic top and waiting for it to stabilize in one spot on a table. Once it is stable and spinning on the same spot, gently blow on the top directly away from you. You will observe the top moving away and then going left or right depending on the rotation direction. Gravity is similar to your breath in that it places a force on the gyro without constraining it. Right hand twist barrels cause a rotation that interacts with gravity to produce drift to the shooter's right. Here is a simple formula that should get an ultra long range set up within 1/4 MOA, provided he is not way over stabilizing the bullet. [6(Y/200)(Y/200)] divided by 25.4 Y = target's actual distance in yards your answer or product will be in inches of drift from a 100 yard zero, no wind These laws of physics are real and you must include them to reliably make hits past 1000 yards. -------------------- Follow through matters----- SEE THE FIRE....!!! S1 Member Member # 963 posted 12-08-2002 11:39 PM Crow mag HOwdy Lets work from the paranthesis out and see what happens. 1500 divided by 200 equals 7.5. We do this twice and multiply them so: 7.5 times 7.5 equals 56.25 and now we multiply this by 6, and it equals 337.5 Now we divide 337.5 by 25.4 and get our answer: 13.2874 inches of yaw of repose at 1500 yards. I hope I did not make a typo in the formula, and I apologize for not being more familiar with the word processor software. I have not figured out how to type exponents and other symbols with this web stuff. -------------------- Follow through matters----- SEE THE FIRE....!!!
