So... any of our members here have an interest in firearms?

The .38 is sublime and the .357 mag is total overkill for the range. We are both in love with this rifle. Super accurate, tight groups. Since he’s nervous about keeping it at his place in the city, well dad may borrow it from time to time.

May I ask a question here after a discussion with a friend last night: I will try to explain in my humble English!
If you adjust a rifle - let s say with .50bmg at one mile on a rifle-range in east-west direction and the turn to north and shoot at an aim -> there must be an adjustment concerning the coriolis-force. yes or no? ( calculator says 21 cm = av. 1 inch.)

Of course, because the toilet swirls in the opposite direction. Daaaaaaaaaa. But, really, one mile. I’m on the com asking for airstrike.

Jesus Christ, you made me google this. No wonder I miss at one mile so much.

Wow! Bigger impact that I thought it would be. Cool.

Yeah that does have a bigger effect than I had expected and explains why ( i am joking of course) I miss the odd Magpie at 350 meters out by just a whisker, and here I had been thinking it was my angle of inclination, wind, obturation of the round, poor BC's of the round and the associated gravitational effects due to time to impact and so on (by the way I always use an Airgun for this as its with in the technical boundaries of the city).
