[QUOTE="Broz, post: 700764, member: 7503"] The difference between zero wind and a 5 mph full value wind at 1300 yards would be about 1.4 moa. Or roughly 19". Then if you have a combined accuracy of 3/4 moa between the rifle, ammo and shooter skill you need to add that in too. So in reality if you are just getting started at this you did pretty good I feel. I would look at the distance of error from your pont of aim. Not group size. I strive to get as close to point of aim as possible no matter what side of it I am on. This is why I choose the crease behind the shoulder for point of aim. It offers me the widest kill zone and as you see width is tough with any wind at all. There is always wind somewhere durring the flight path. Another thought I have is, were you able to split that circle aiming point with your cross hairs? Is the plate about 20" across?? The dot 2"?? If the crosshair subtension of your scope reticle is covering the dot completely it will induce a small amount of error too. Lastly f you have not read this I think it is worth your time.
