[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 940707, member: 30902"] Actually you can provided you are working with a steady wind the whole distance. It is additive, just look at the increase with each hundred yard increment. I don't know the BC on your 300gr OTM. If you are talking the Berger with the .818 BC that's a monster of a bullet. I'm coming up with a considerable difference from what you are with a total WD of 97.5" and 59" of that occurs from 1000yds out. Again, even with a monster bullet like that the longer it flies, the more the wind affects it's flight and the rate it moves from POA each hundred yards increases. I'm using full value 10mph wind and your velocity. 100-0.4 200-1.4 300-3.1 400-5.5 500-8.8 600-12.9 700-17.5 800-23.8 900-30.7 1000-38.7 1100-47.8 1200-58.2 1300-69.9 1400-83.0 1500-97.5 Each hundred yards, the rate, not just the total increases all the way out. As the bullet slows, the wind has longer during each of those hundred yard intervals to work against you and as such the last third accounts for over half of the total wind drift. Of course with lower BC bullets that is even more pronounced which is why you guys who are really serious about pushing out beyond 1000yds do so much better with the heavy 338's and bigger bullets with the highest BC's than you would win my puny little 180-210gr .30's.
