[QUOTE="Max Heat, post: 839517, member: 43153"] I'd like to know what the final word is on that. I have always had suspicions that allowing the projectile to pass too closely to any object during it's flight could affect it's trajectory, from that point forward. I'm thinking that "waves" of air pressure eminating from the bullet itself (from the side, and/or slightly ahead of it) hit the object and reflect back to the bullet, altering what otherwise would have been a "clean" trajectory. That would seem to be what is applicable in this case. I'm sure anything more than 5 or 6" away (unless shooting parallel to a long wall, or something) would have a negligible effect, but that magnachron device looks like it is within an inch, and it is there for multiple inches of the flightpath. It makes sense that as the "closeness" to the object doubles, the effect on the passing bullet would square. Take a scenario where you are in a fixed position and spot a nice deer at 600yds, but there is a large tree at 75yds. Looking through the scope, you see that your round will just barely miss hitting the tree. Will the round be off-target at 600yds, if you take the shot? [/QUOTE]
