I see a lot of talk with long range shooters about scope level, don't take me wrong that is important. Also they never talk about or they scoff at Kentucy Windage . Let me explain, if you are a baseball fan you know how spin can affect a nall same thing here, if you have a 1-10 the twist that bullet is going to drift it the right. Same thing with a left hand spin, will go to left. In a 308 using Lipua sceaners at 1000 yards that drift will be about 4 inches R with a R hand twist. This part I consider my self somewhat knowledgable

I don't have a .308 anymore but I on a calm day I've never noticed any drift while shooting at paper inside of 400 yards. Also I've never shot anything except steel over 750. Maybe my groups are so sloppy the drift is disguised as poor shooting.
