Coriolis Force on Bullets?

[Pookee]

Anyone figure out if coriolis force works in harmony with a clockwise rifling twist or a counter clockwise twist in the Northern Hemisphere?

The U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit, I think it was, experimented with this effect.  Anyway, it turned out that the effect was so small that after you are sighted in with whichever twist you have, that there is no practical difference. So.....just let'er rip & don't sweat it. :grin:

Actually Pookee this changes with the alignment of the planets as well,  All things have some effect though the bigger planets and the of course the sun have the larger effects.  Never go to a serious match without first looking over a solar system chart for th day and time you will be shooting.  You may want to shoot right hand twists on some days and left hand on others.
