[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1228132, member: 50867"] Comparing results on target at those kinds of distances, among even the most serious shooters, is extremely difficult. In my experience, "the world beyond 800 yards" is a mysterious place. Elements that influence bullet travel have exponential affects on target results as the distance to target increases and, IMO, it's at about 800 yards where the smallest influence within the early stages of bullet flight become dramatically apparent. Air temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction(*), coriolis effect, decaying velocity, elevation, angle of the shot, bullet weight and caliber, and a variety of other rules of physics complicate matters. IMO, your curiosity is welcome. The practicality of providing a meaningful and sensible answer may be more of a stretch than originally imagined. (*) wind eddies will destroy the wind reading calculations of even the best long distance shooter.
