Spent a week training under an excellent long range shooter and former Iraq sniper. He was adamant that coriolis was irrelevant.

I shoot every week out past 1000 yards. The way my land lays, most coyotes are over 1000 when I shoot them too (one was 1760 yards, dead run). I’ll tell anyone knowing your ballistics and equipment and your four marksmanship principles are far more important. Build a range card and learn it. Learning to read wind is also very important and having a good spotter or being able to spot your own shots. Too many people overthink it.

With a flight time of just over one second for a .308 at 1000 yards, the effect should be minimal to negligible to irrelevant, unless an inch or so one way or t’other matters...
