Q:

poi, spin drift?

i was just wondering if anyone has figured out the reason why if you shoot two diffrent type of pellets one can have a impact to the left or the right of the other. today i was shooting kodiaks and they were right on target and i switched to monsters and they were shooting down and to the right. i understand them hitting lower but not to the right. i know that you have spin drift from the spin of the bullet but never thought that it applied to air rifles, i thought that drift only applied when you shoot a high powered rifle hundreds of yards and if the bullet is over stablized. do you guys have any ideas?

I was thinking the same thing today. It would be cool to have different weight pellets that were zeroed in ate different distances. Maybe it has something to do with surface area.
