[QUOTE="jonoMT, post: 464689, member: 9463"] Augustus, that's funny because I just came across that thread on the 'Hide while looking for info on spin drift. Certain individuals were adamant about it not being at all important...until Litz reluctantly entered the fray and posted a thoughtful explanation about its reality. I can agree with those who don't care to an extent. It's way down the list of things I worry about, like trigger control, when shooting at long range. But why not have the best theoretical approximation you can start with? As far as handheld calculators go or even generating a drop chart to print out, it's just as well to add spin drift in there. As for the Coriolis Effect, I read Ch. 7 in Litz book and decided it wasn't worth worrying about as much since the effect is less and the need for input is greater. But with a device that has location info and azimuth, why not? [/QUOTE]
