[QUOTE="Eaglet, post: 417145, member: 3756"] In Bryan's book, Applied Ballistics for Long Range Shooting, has an awesome explanation on this theme. The whole chapter 5 is devoted to [B]Wind Deflection[/B]. Bryan talks about "near wind" (at the shooter) and "far wind" at the target and explains about reputable proponents of both claims. In his explaining he calls "strike one" to the near wind proposition, "strike 2" to the far wind proposition, and even "strike 3" for the in-between wind where the bullet will have its highest path where the wind will be more active. I can only say it's some cool reading on the subject and you owe it to your self to get the book! I don't how much can be said without hurting his work, but I'll tell you there are five things helping my long range shooting. A) My Swarovski LG range finder B) Load Base 3.0 C) Bryan's Book D) My 338-300 RUM in savage action "put together by geargrinder" which today at 673 yards busted a coffee lid from McDonald's on the 2 shot. The first shot would have killed anything else. :D The last, but not the least, is LRH site!!! [/QUOTE]
