[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 241617, member: 4191"] [b]Re: Spindrift @ 1000 yds[/b] That's basically what I did with my 7mm RM last weekend in windless conditions. I first fired three shots into 0.36 moa at 1000 yds hitting about 1.5" left of POA. Then I fired 2 shots @ 300 yds which hit about 5/8" left of POA. I did not see evidence of 8-9" spindrift, otherwise my 1000 yd hits should have been to the right of my POA. This was with Berger 168 gr VLDs. But I could have had ~3-4 inches of spindrift. Not so much that I'm too concerned about it. I think I'll just let my rifle hit a little left at 3-400 yds by zeroing dead on for 1000 yds. Then call it good for my 7mm RM since I won't shoot it much farther than 1000 yds anyhow. I'll take my 300 WM out again and shoot 210 Berger VLDs the next chance with wind-free conditions and see what I come up with at both 1000 and 300 yds. I've installed bubble levels on both rifles now to help minimize any rifle canting errors on my part. Interesting that you're not experiencing notable wind drift with any of those three bullets. I'll report back with any spindrift info. from my 300 WM after I shoot it again. [/QUOTE]
