[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1172393, member: 2736"] Rather than explain Coriolis effect and get into another debate I posted a link that will help explain. [url=http://us.wow.com/wiki/Coriolis_effect?s_chn=11&s_pt=aolsem&type=content&v_t=content]Coriolis effect - WOW.com[/url] My under standing is that it does not make any difference if a barrel is left hand rifled or right hand rifle the effect will still exist, only in a different direction. My understanding is That the direction you are shooting and north or south of the equator can make a difference in the amount. There has always been the debate about right hand rifling loosening the barrel. If torqued correctly this will not happen. but if the barrel is installed hand tight it is very possible. Many European countries believe in left hand twist for one reason or another and still use them. There is no proof that a left hand twist is any more accurate than a right hand twist and with no difference is Coriolis effects except in another direction. (Important to the shooter that has a left hand twist to know). The bottom line is that nether the Coriolis or twist direction make any difference to most shooters because of the distance they shoot. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
