[QUOTE="eddybo, post: 147694, member: 7194"] I was shooting my 6.5x284 the other day with a new load. Shoot at 300 in my gravel pit that is pretty sheltered from the wind. Got groups that were at least as good as my ability, with little if any vertical. Rode around to the other side of my land to shoot 500 and 600. I left my wind meter at home but had at least a 20 mph gusting tailwind. Of the five shots fired I had a nice little one inch three shoot group, with the other two nearly touching about 4 inches high. I like to think it was the tail wind, but it was probably just my shooting. I read in an article about this on (6mmbr I think) where they proclaimed that the vertical caused by a tail/head wind would be very small. If I get a chance I will find the article and post a link....but right now I am off to the gun smiths. [/QUOTE]
