[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 474416, member: 505"] I was just wondering the equation of how they calculated wind drift. I agree it is impossible to judge the wind. I was just speaking in general terms and not a specific incident. Does the equation take into effect bullets don't drift in the wind according to their frontal bc. I have fired two or more rifles simultaneously side by side at my range so they experience as close to the same wind as possible. Drifts are different with same bc from heavy large calibers to lighter smaller calibers. Has anyone else ever done this and noticed the effect. At a 1000+ yards I have seen significant differences and not just small gains in a strong wind. I don't want to hijack Paul's thread so I will stop. I was just wondering. [/QUOTE]
