[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 649930, member: 10291"] At 600 yards a 2 1/2 mph wind error can cause as much as a 1 MOA deviation with your load. I would look closely at your vertical dispersion to get a rough idea of your non wind shooting variables. If your vertical group measurement are cocsistant with your 100-200 yard groups, it's a decent indication that you wind dope is of for the fliers. If you plan on progressing much further out than 600 yards, I would consider changing your bullet to the 175 SMK. The 168, due to the steep boat tail design, is believed to exhibit stability issues at the longer ranges. [/QUOTE]
