[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 2484039, member: 10291"] Alex- Bryan published a few books on LR Shooting/ Ballistics back about a dozen years ago. Well worth a read. IMO…He does a decent job at trying to verify or bust some of the conventional wisdoms by actual shooting and analyzing objective data. Photo of one if his publications below. Brent- I agree. For game hunting out to 1000 yards or a bit more, I’m passing or attempting to move in closer if I’m not fully confident in my wind determination. If the wind speed gets to much above 5MPH, and I’m suspecting compound effects, the red flag goes up. On the occasions when I had a heavier/larger caliber bullet it really didn’t influence my go/no-go decisions for the distances and vital areas I’m dealing with. For targets/steel, anything goes, and while I may seen less effects with the larger, comparable or higher BC calibers, they are not material enough to split my decision on the long shots at the medium sized game I predominately hunt. Perhaps my skill level needs some more work…… [ATTACH=full]352472[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
