[QUOTE="JBM, post: 139043, member: 1969"] [ QUOTE ] The coriolus effect. I only wish I knew the real answer to that. That subject has been hashed out on this board several times as to whether or not it is even measureable from a hand carried rifle and if so, are bullets always pulled to the right in the northern hemishpere and always to the left in the southern half or if it it soley based upon the direction of fire and the relation of the direction to the physical location of the shooter on the earth. I have yet to find any shooters that agree the subject. [/ QUOTE ] I certainly wouldn't wait until shooters agree on a subject to believe it.
