[QUOTE="Broz, post: 667308, member: 7503"] Scott, I hear what you are saying but lets not forget the OP article was done at only 1000 yards and supported this. This was preformed by two respected long range competative shooters. I agree it becomes more prevelant at longer distances (everything does) and the shortest I did the test was 1000 yards. I ask no one to take my word for it. I would suggest if the article is not sufficent proof then by all means get with a buddy and do the test for your self. You may be surprised. As far are the programs windage info being correct? That is hard to tell as we perfect the drops( elevation) with BC and velocity tweeking to get them perfect. Again elevation is something we can get spot on. But windage / wind drift is not as we have no way I know of to prove what actual winds the bullet is actually traveling in. So with what I have to work with I can't call a program right or wrong. But, like I have done, we can prove which bullet does indeed have the most drift simply by shooting them back to back in like conditions. And the more samples the better. One thing this has proven to me is to look at what is in front of you. Not what someone says. The small fast bullet coolaid does not taste good to me. Now a heavy fast bullet,... well that has a very appealing flavor. I have some of that brewing as we speak. Jeff [/QUOTE]
