How about accounting for Coriolis "force" in addition to drop and wind when shooting ULR 5,000 yards?
Have you seen that in a film? Is it actually a thing, can you ignore it?
- 542458 4mo agoSurprisingly, Coriolis at extreme ranges (like 5000 feet) can be relevant enough to be corrected for, but how much and in what direction depends which way you're shooting and where on the planet you are.

Heavier, longer range shells from naval guns, yes - rifles, no. * Opinion of a ULR shooter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KP7IKshdiiY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KP7IKshdiiY * Range Proof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7owwTz7Z0OE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7owwTz7Z0OE
