[QUOTE="LRSickle, post: 448471, member: 18167"] A righthanded twist causes the bullet to hit high/left in a right-to-left wind and low/right in a left-to-right wind. It would be exactly the opposite in a left-handed barrel. So whether you have a right or left twist doesn't matter, you still have the same advantage/disadvantage. The earth's rotation does effect the bullet's flight. It's called the Corialis effect. If your shooting from north to south and the earth's surface is turning to the east at 750mph, your bullet will hit right. For that brief time that your bullet is in flight, in limbo so to speak, the target has moved to the left at 750mph causing your bullet to hit right. This is something that I could never be able to detect so I don't worry about it. Pretty interesting though. Chuck J. [/QUOTE]
