[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 463711, member: 1007"] Coriolus has less to do with the direction of fire and more to do with which hemisphere you are in and how far or close you are to the equator. The vertical component has a fair bit to do with your direction of fire. The horizontal component has to do with how close you are to which pole. Northern hemisphere shooters will see right hand impacts and SH shooters will see left hand impacts which out to 1K is minimized from using a right hand twist barrel. In the NH, we see coriolus AND spin drift combined. Too bad someone reputable doesnt produce a left hand twist barrel for us NH shooters. One of the best animations illustrating the right hand NH impact vs left hand SH impact is below: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=__SlJtnpCD8[/url] [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=mcPs_OdQOYU[/url] [/QUOTE]
