[QUOTE="LRNut, post: 1868243, member: 3230"] Like I said, this is why accuracy matters more than speed. A rifle that shoots 1 MOA at 500 has a lot more error for wind estimation than a 2 MOA, no matter how fast the latter shoots. For the life of me, it is stunning how many shooters seem to think every bullet follows the same trajectory path. For example, they may zero at 300 yards, stating that their bullet is never more than 4" inches (assuming the highest point of the trajectory) above their line of sight, forgetting that half those bullets will be above that 4" inch line (how much depends on the rifle's accuracy and the shooter steadiness). Add to that the high probability you will not be in a perfectly steady shooting position (wobbling high perhaps) and you have a recipe for missing high. [/QUOTE]
