[QUOTE="Bodywerks, post: 842165, member: 62694"] I disagree. Adding 10mph resistance to something going over 1,000mph produces a negligible effect during its 1 second flight time. Need proof? Plug it into a ballistics calculator. Between my 338 lapua and my 260 a 10mph headwind induces less than a half inch of drop on both at 700 yards. My guess is your observed/recorded MV is off a tad. It won't show at shorter distances because the trajectory tends to be pretty flat at shorter ranges. That or your BC is slightly off but I'd lean toward velocity. [/QUOTE]
