[QUOTE="BLK, post: 1668973, member: 27177"] Something I have not seen a lot of discussion about on this posting: DIRECTION of the wind means a lot as to whether or not you choose to shoot at a long range animal. I hunt the power line at my property and an 800 shot is ok even on a windy day. The wind basically blows right up the power line into my face on most days I hunt. A tail or head wind does not affect a bullet path very much at all. Check the ballistics tables. I have had all clean "drop em in their tracks" kills out to six hundred but never had a shot at 800 yards. Would love the opportunity. 7MM Rem Mag. Sierra hollow point boat tail 160 grains. Winchester Model 70 stainless with an adjustable boss. Love the rifle and the boss. I will probably wound an animal some day but hope not. If you hunt long enough you will probably wound one. Like driving: If you drive long enough you will probably have an accident but hope it is not serious. [/QUOTE]
