[QUOTE="Varmtr, post: 1172299, member: 90188"] The only rifles that I know of that had left hand twist was the 303 Lee Enfield. Left hand twist unscrewing a barrel not likely it would actually tighten the barrel if any. Look down the rifle from the but end the twist rotates in the same direction as tightening the barrel into the action. I would think wind drift would be more of a concern than coriollis and spin drift within 1000y maybe with a benchrest rail gun you might see some deflection. [/QUOTE]
