[QUOTE="Broz, post: 842257, member: 7503"] I agree with these two posts and will share this info from my 300 win with a 215 Berger @3035 fps. These calculations are from Bryan Litz Applied Ballistics program. 1000 yard shot and no wind has a dial up of 20.5 MOA 1000 yard shot with a 10 mph head on 12 o:clock wind needs 20.5 MOA 1000 yards shot 10 mph tail from 6:00 needs 20.4 MOA Increasing to a 20 mph wind @ 1000 12:00 head wind 20.6 MOA 6:00 tail wind 20.4 MOA So as you can see the difference is around .1 moa for a good bullet at 1000 yards and up to a 20 mph wind. I doubt even the best shooters could define a .1 moa (about an inch) at 1000 yards. Now with smaller calibers and less effective bullets I would expect these differences to magnify and I would also expect the same as distance is increased as bullets slow. Jeff [/QUOTE]
