FUDD Military Precision Shooter needs schooling.

[M118LR]

A simple question with a complicated result. But the good members here have given plenty of correct information. It's good to see a spot where there are so many educated shooters.

All the dope taken from the range at Greeley had to be reshot and annotated once we landed in Christchurch. Cheers to all that have seen the toilet flush counter clockwise.

What if it's flat, but still spinning

That being the case, why aren't more barrels produced in the northern hemisphere in left hand twist ? They're all right hand unless you specify otherwise.

You'd think that knowing this the standard would be left hand twist.

Nothing in the northern hemisphere is left-handed! Ask me how I know. Dagnabbit, I am left-handed in a right-hand world. I consider myself a minority and should get a discount on everything.

Here we go! Cheers

People in different countries on the equator often get away with a hoax that shows small drains of water spinning in opposite directions

I'd like to take a moment to Thank all those that have references to modern methods/technical aids. Nowadays modern programs and technical aids have seriously advanced the theory of a shooting resolution. Decades ago, hand written log books and range time with a single load and rifle required massive man hours. Things have gotten much better nowadays. Yet as an Old FUDD, I still don't trust what I haven't shot on the range. Guess Old habits go hard. Thanks again folks.

Maybe even your own history month and bathroom.

1917 Enfield .30-06 Spr is a left hand twist.

and the Enfields. I thought something was wrong with my cleaning rod when the brush kept coming loose!

Well, you might just buy the book, Applied Ballistics for Long-Range Shooting.... Gyroscopic (spin) Drift and Coriolis Effect. It's just a thought,
Cheers

Get the book. It answers all your questions and more

Sorry Dude, no discounts for lefties...haven't you heard? DEI is dead these days...

I spiral flute the outside of the bbl to counteract the inside flutes.

Of course it did and always will have to be when traveling.

How dare you call me DEI. No one will hire me for anything anyway! I guess I'm just too ugly even for DEI. Being the ugliest man in the world should also get me a huge discount. Maybe I am already DEI dead and just don't know about it.

My understanding is that a left hand twist in the northern hemisphere will cause spin drift that cancels out the coriolis effect to some extent. Right hand twist does the same in Southern Hemisphere.
But that may be 100% internet BS also.

My LHT barrels have about 2x spin drift as coriolis effect. I don't have my tables at hand but say 1000 yards I get 6" left spin drift and 3"right coriolis effect for a total hit point of 3"left. If i had a RHT it would be 9"right.
