[QUOTE="Autorotate, post: 540524, member: 8073"] Richard-I know you asked this question to JE specifically, but I can't help but to put my two cents in here. Then I'll butt the heck out of this thread for good! I would evaluate the maximum distance you will engage your intended target. I'm assuming furry critters since we're on LRH:D Evaluate the ability of your LRH to achieve a reliable, accurate, precise, and repeatable range at that distance on a non-reflective target like a critter. Then I would plug in the atmospherics for your intended hunting AO into JBM, and evaluate wind drift in the worse case scenario for that distance. You'll be able to solve all the other riddles associated with the LR shot with technology/practice (Coriollis, spin drift, elevation solution) but the wind drift will still be undeterministic factor as Mr. Litz refers to it....or the unknown for a common'er like me. I think when you look at the wind drift differences between a 300 gr Berger for a 2500/2700/2900 fps....you might not realize a real benefit until you start shooting past 1K. Hope that helps! Good luck. [/QUOTE]
