[QUOTE="Wild Bill G, post: 1327903, member: 96281"] Years ago I did alot of bench rest shooting and learned a valuable lesson at one shoot. Being a relative newcomer to the sport my guns were only ever sighted in. Meaning I had mo idea about setting my zero's on my scope. Well at one 2 day shoot we had a strong wind from the right it lasted for about 2 rounds of shooting. All of a sudden during the gathering of the targets and changing our rifles for the next class the wind changed. Now that doesn;t sound bad but it came from the left twice as hard as it had been from the right. Alot of the shooters had their zeros set but even they had trouble with this. What we discovered that day was that a wind from the right will cause a bullet to rise. A hurricane force wind from the eft will drop bullets as much as 5 inches at 200 yards. Has anyone else ever noticed this and would it be opposite with opposite hand twist in rifling. [/QUOTE]
