[QUOTE="Schnyd112, post: 1328745, member: 90453"] I don't have an answer, and my longest shots have been 1200 yards but I am working on it. All I can do is say I have trouble with a tail wind. Even at 800 I go into fits of the wind is coming from behind me. As a hunter, the wind at my back is always a disturbing feeling and that may make me uncomfortable from the start. As a scientific mind, I need a better explanation than that. My thought is the wind catches the flat on the back of the bullet as it spins and causes a widening arc. At the specified range, it translates into an unpredictable vertical dispersion. [/QUOTE]
