[QUOTE="JustMe2, post: 2506970, member: 42494"] Sorry Greyfox, you have it backwards. Largest right/left CE occurs if you are shooting north or south. The circumference of the earth decreases as you move away from the equator causing the earth to rotate faster at the equator and slower as you approach the poles. This is the basis of CE as I explained earlier. North hemisphere the error will always be right and south hemisphere will be left. Also shooting East will cause an error high and west an error low because the earth's curvature falls away from the bullet shooting east and rises shooting west. [/QUOTE]
