I know, Curiosity killed the Cat, but what's with the colored tape on rifle barrels.

I am still surprised I could do anything using green tape and, of all things, using a Leupold optic!!

I am on my way to the hardware store shortly to get the proper bile tape on hand for this weekend’s ML hunt. Calling for up to 12”.

Yup. That's an easy one, Tim. Spent 25 years in the hydraulic business.

NoNoNoNo.......Don't forget to take which hemisphere you are in and the Coriolis effect into account.
"This phenomenon is due to earth’s rotation, and changes according to the hemisphere you are in. In the northern one the bullet will always drift to the right, in the southern hemisphere the bullet will be deflected to the left."

Well, I ain't an Aussie ,or something like that, so I don't need to worry! I stick by my right hand twist for tape.

Only about 15% of the population are lefty. So all us right people wrap right. All the weird ones wrap left. Some common sense should be applied along with the tape. C'mon guys...

Oh man... I think I even paid more to be weird...

I don't know but I bet quite a bit... that's a lot of extra work...

So long as you're consistent with the barrel's twist direction, I think you're good to go!

Gotta be careful... you don't want the barrel to unthread itself...

I do have one question, Gary. Which way is the rifle pointed when you wrap right (or left for that matter)?

Inquiring minds want to know.
