Range Report .243 Spin Drift??
Re: .243 Spin Drift??
How far you planning on shooting with those bullets?
Honestly, there are much larger factors you'll need to worry about than spin drift.
Wind drift, drop, and range estimation far outweigh spin drift.

Re: .243 Spin Drift??
I would like to try and get them out to 1000 yards just for the sake of trying, but i mainly just use them for deer hunting and I wouldnt try to take a deer out past 200 or so yards. So my main reason for inquiring about spin drift is curiousity.

OK the first time it was fun, but now it is getting out of hand. Looks like Chad has pointed them in the right direction.

Re: .243 Spin Drift??
Having shot the .243 many, many times to 1000 and never worrying about anything but the wind and still making hits my advice is this....worry more about the wind and forget about spin drift.

Re: .243 Spin Drift??
For me, I am more worried about wind drift than Coriolis effect. If I can exactly call the wind at a 1000 yards and consistently hit the target and if I am still off by 1-2 MOA at that distance from POA, then I would worry about the Coriolis effect. JMHO
I am not saying that it doesn't exist, but the wind is going to buckle your POI, more than the spin drift.

Re: .243 Spin Drift??
ford vs chevy bro..
I like to look at mirage downrange rather than wind flags or other stuff... if I can see it...
to each their own
Boiko you crack me the hell up man..
I can do exactly 25 revolutions to the right in rapid form and still grab a pint & pound it.... I tried 50, but that god funny real quick...
this was 'dizzy izzy' style with the baseball bat & a few British Royal Marine Commando type folks...

Very. Sometimes the wind flags will be going one direction, and the mirage will be going the opposite direction. Hold for the mirage!!

Re: .243 Spin Drift??
I think Im going to buy a couple dozen copys of "Modern Exterior Balistics" by Bob McCoy and sell a copy to everyone who ask about spindrift on this site in the future.If were going to be tortured like this on a regular basis we might as well make some money along the way...

1+ for that. I look at my Kestrel 4000 to see my wind, but the mirage will be the deciding factor on the windage. Also, it helps with the God forsaken heat in the desert, so seeing mirage is not too difficult.

Re: .243 Spin Drift??
The whole point in reading mirage is to see which way the wind is blowing down range

Re: .243 Spin Drift??
On a dead calm day my 243 shoots 1/4- 1/2 MOA to the right at 1000yds.

Dead calm and shooting 1000 yards don't go together. There is always wind especially where the bullet is flying.

sorry to tell you but a 243 winchester will not shoot 1000 yards.only the bullet will....

Re: .243 Spin Drift??
That bullet only has about a .36 bc. 1000 is really stretching the possibilites.

To answer your question...
(remember to exercise your spin drift passions you need a twist rate, bullet length, bullet weight, correct atmosphere data, velocity & caliber)
Let's say it's a Rem 788 with a 9 twist barrel, at Alice, TX with the current atmosphere.
11.7" @ 1000yds
if it's a 10 twist
10.3" @ 1000yds
You got 1 other problem, that bullet looks to go subsonic at 950yds.

Get out and shoot. It'll develope your own known data or DOPE. Zero your rifle at the desired distance and go back to 100 yards and shoot again. Elevation and windage adjustments will show up, record the same.
