7Rum, are you shooting "true" east or magnetic east? Coriolis is calculated using latitude lines that are drawn true E/W. There is magnetic variation that must be eliminated from your E/W aiming to arrive at "true" E/W. Depending on your geographic location, the magnetic variation could be very large. Again to see any significant Coriolis, you'd have to be shooting ELR and probably not hunting game, just targets or the enemy. LOLI have 2 long range plates that are due East, one at 900 yards and one at 1350. Even with my Ultra mag's the 1350 due east will hit 6 to 7 inches to the right, even with correction for spin drift. If I forget to correct for spin drift I will miss the plate completely. I now correct for both and enjoy pounding that plate with a few different rifles. I need to try my BR4 with the enviro's turned on but haven't had the time, that would validate maybe. Just my findings as I shoot these 2 plates alot! cheers, Jason
