corealis effect info

[usmc1371]

does anyone in the horde have a source on corealis effect? maybe one of the former military snipers have a source. will a military sniper manual have that info? im looking for info so i can add it to my data book for my grendel...any info is helpful.

Bryan Litz knows his stuff regarding ballistics, and you might find some helpful insight on this link:

In a very basic sense, this short vid might offer a helpful perspective:

The Shooter app for Android phones can apply the coriolis effect. I use that app, but not that particular function since I think it's somewhat irrelevant at the distances I usually shoot (~600 yards or less).

I believe that the Shooter app uses the same data found on the JBM Ballistics website, both of which I find to be excellent for my use. Also, I think Bryan Litz had a hand in much of the data on those sources.

USMC1371, I'm at Boomershoot, helping run a Precision Long Range Rifle course and sitting here eating dinner with LRRPF52, LR1955, and Milanuk (Who shoots for the US F Class team and owns a world championship and a couple National Championships) and we are 100% convinced that there is no significant coriolis effect that needs to be considered when shooting the Grendel, it simply will not shoot at a distance lengthy enough for it to be significant.

...there is no significant coriolis effect that needs to be considered when shooting the Grendel, it simply will not shoot at a distance lengthly enough for it to be significant.

I've heard that shooting at distances less than a mile makes the coriolis effect somewhat irrelevant, but I'm not speaking from personal experience.

I agree with bwaites. after talking with my cousin,a current US Marine sniper, he adds that they have experienced very little coriolis effect at any thing under 1400 -1500 yards. FWIW.

I'd say that's convincing enough for me coming from these guys.

that is good enough for me. that simplified things..... thanks gents......

I will surely give that try.

I agree with Waites.. Maybe howitzers, or naval gunfire need to consider the coreolis effect, but for most rifle shooters inside 1000 yards, it isn't as much of a factor as how well you can hold your rifle, and dope wind.
