Re: Bullet Drift Defined. The debate is over.
Awesome! However, you forgot to mention the effects solar flares have on accuracy. Everyone knows that during a solar flare there is an increase in ionizing radiation from the sun. This is why it's more difficult to propagate radio waves during these episodes. Anyway, solar flares emit more ionizing radiation which increases the charge of the ionosphere. This increased charge creates a static electric-like build-up which acts like a magnetic dampener on your balance-beam scale. This will slow your bullet down from 0.23% to 0.79%, depending on the strength of the flare. This is a minor contributor to vertical stringing at extended long range.
You can factor this in by going to Radio Shack and getting a set of induction coils and connecting them to an analog ameter. This will give you your correction factor.
