[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 315927, member: 7999"] Thank you Michael, If a wind is not straight on to the path of the bullet, does it have more surface area to act on than when it is straight on? Such as a two o'clock wind. The winds that we dealt with yesterday were very turbulent and it may be as suggested earlier that we had a down draft we were dealing with. That and all but one of the rifles that we had on the outing were in one stage or another of development. The one rifle that had a proven load did not perform predictably vertically either. Seems to me that long range shooting works better when it is calm.:D Thanks all for the info. Steve [/QUOTE]
