[QUOTE="canderson, post: 842248, member: 10891"] If you were to make your intended smaller and try and be very precise you will notice the headwind tailwind effect. I have shot numerous times at 1000 yard f class matches. The f class target has roughly a 1/2 MOA bullseye (x ring). Trying to keep 20 shots in the 1/2 MOA center is very challenging with pick up and let offs from head or tail winds. The winds will move point of impact several inches at that distance. I am using Berger 105 hybrid bullets. These bullets have very good BC. I would have to think a larger heavier bullet may not move quite as much but will still move. [/QUOTE]
