[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 2975309, member: 97050"] you said flag…we don't have flags in bullet paths out in the wild..just what you can ascertain. I never said that all wind was NOT important. I was quoting someone else with a specific bit of information. I'm a big proponent of collecting all wind in a variety of ways. So there is no theory here. Max ord is not a minimal difference. It depends on the height of the max ordnance and how accurate you need to be. "Not that much" can be 2 mph at 40 ft in the air…what's 2 mph off beyond 1000? What if you sacrifice BC for a bonded bullet? How does that affect trajectory? …at the muzzle is relative. If I'm in a murder hole in a structure shooting to the outside, presumably, my wind in the structure is 0. However, anywhere from 1 ft to 100y in front, behind and above me (the structure), there is wind. How you choose to collect that is another conversation. Above being the ideal method of possible.
