[QUOTE="scsims, post: 752726, member: 9755"] It's got to be the wind...... I had wind coming from 9 o'clock straight left to right at 3-7mph "variable" today. Shot at 100, 200, and 300. Started at 200 and hit 3" right of POA. With the same form and hold I didn't change anything and shot the 100 yard target and hit 1" high from the 200 yard setting and dead center. I then shot the 300 yard target and hit way right about 7" with the same form and hold. I then dialed for wind about 1.6 MOA "per JBM" and shot 3 more at 300 and they were more centered but horizontally scattered I'm thinking of the variable wind. I did this same test with my 308 with the same results. I may have been just trying to neglect a light wind, but with the anemometer the light wind is more like 5mph. I just have a lot to learn. I guess I'm not wasting time, powder, and lead if I'm ever so slowly learning. [/QUOTE]
