[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1014445, member: 4191"] I'm going to say you don't have to worry about budgeting to cover travel expenses Bryan. I remain an ardent skeptic of the claims of non-linear dispersion, other than due to human and or optical causes. More care taken by the shooter at longer yardage, scope parallax or some other optical or atmospheric cause. Every now and then I've even read or heard that groups sizes measured at longer yardage measure a lesser dimension than groups measured at a closer yardage. As in 1" grouping at 100yds and 3/4" grouping at 200yds. I've also experienced shooters that persistently claimed Coriolis effect didn't affect the flight of bullets from their rifles. Didn't cause any rightward drift in North America. There was a member of this forum that regularly posted again and again pictures of his 100-200yd groups being dead on left to right, and then pictures of his 1000 and 1200yd POIs also being dead on left to right. There are several possible explanations for this - rifle cant being just one. But the absence of coriolis drift on his bullets was his chosen explanation. Coriolis was nothing more than hocus pocus and abracadabra. Pixie dust. For phenomena the human eye is unable to observe/detect, human brains are more than capable of explaining - often incorrectly.
