[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 66728, member: 313"] Thanks Ric. I keep a chart taped to the stock with the wind drift @ 10mph. Its easy to double or half; providing of course, that I can figure out what the wind is averaging between me and the target. When I'm shooting varmints I always use an electronic wind gauge and directional flag but it only tells me what the wind is doing where I'm standing. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] WIND - It keeps us working for the hits that count. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] I just double checked on max range based on your figure of 800 ft/lbs. of terminal energy. At 1,000yds the 162gr A-Max is still loping along at 1,728 ft/sec with 1,075 ft/lbs of energy. That's based on a muzzle velocity of 3,050 which is easily obtainable in the 7STW. Of course there would be nearly 5' of wind (10mph) at that distance too. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] VH [/QUOTE]
