Search for an article on Wind Shooting by Ross Mason, he has a neat way of explaining it.

That just made me think, if you have a right hand twist and wind is blowing in from the right does that mean it'll drift less then if the wind was to blow in from the left. Also when the wind comes in from the left and pushes the projectile does it spinning in the direction of the wind help it move even further?
