[QUOTE="COBrad, post: 831698, member: 1940"] You clearly understand the effect of even a slight breeze at those ranges. I get enough wind both where I shoot PD's and 'chucks that anymore I'm looking for combinations of accuracy at speed and high BC to fight the wind. While those high BC .22 bullets can be fired accurately over 1K yards, I'm not looking to make my 22-250 into a 1500 yard gun. I shoot a 7 mag for the real long stuff, and even those 180 gr VLD's with .651 BC get pretty sensitive to even a slight change in the breeze when ranges start getting extra long. Last weekend shooting at 1367 yards in just a light 1-5 mph breeze it was just too shifty for me to shoot anything close to minute of marmot accuracy. My ballistic software was indicating a .7 minute change in wind drift for each 1/10 mph in wind speed. A quarter mph change in wind speed or direction and I've shot right beside my target. [/QUOTE]
