Default RE: Bullet After Leaves Barrel ?

Bullets do drift slightly to the right through the air.... "slightly" ..... It's because of the right hand twist... Long ago (sorry i no longer remember who) made a left hand twist bbl. and the bullets drifted to the left... Maybe it was Hatcher? Or Ackley,.... it may have been something we discussed in his shop??? He did a LOT of experimenting that didn't get in print.

I've seen a zillion bullets in flight and i've never seen it happen, i have noticed it on paper at longer ranges and like i said, it's NOT much. I tend to sight my rifles 1/2" left at 200 yards...
