[QUOTE="STL_Shooter, post: 33380, member: 888"] In order to provide some small bit of helpful information - rather than continuing my wanton silliness [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] - here's a link to a bit of history on the subject... [url="http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/1390/arty/gunfact5.html"]http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/1390/arty/gunfact5.html[/url] Also, as I recall, the vertical component of wind drift, outlined by Harold Vaughn in his fantastic book "Rifle Accuracy Facts", will function opposite for left-hand twist barrels than for right-hand. Most shooters are unaware of the vertical component of wind drift, and their shooting technique is not so well-developed as to display it. So, the answer for the vast majority of shooters is that there is no real difference between right and left hand twist rifling. [/QUOTE]
