I think I'm going to try one of those Weatherflow meters for the iPhone. How accurate is yours?

I am using it now for two months and if I do my part it is dead on. I use it together with the geoballistics app...

The .223 is not my favorite caliber in a crosswind. Good shooting.

What was your wind velocity/direction and adjustment?

morning, very impressive!! what load were u using?? I have 223 AI. 788 rem. 28"

shilen barrel. bought from a person in calif. I have to single shoot, because of the

seating length of the bullet. I shoot Winchester brass, fed 205 primers, 27.5grs. tac

and 75gr match bergers. the setup is extremely accurate out to 300-400. have not

tried pass 400. I like 223's. I have 4 of this cal.lightbulbgun)

Yes it is not my caliber of choice too... I estimated the wind to be 4-5m/s down range. Where I was standing it was only 1,5-2m/s. I made the correction of 5MOA, but then 6 was needed...

My .223 is also extremely accurate, but the barrel is 23,5" long and it has a 1-10" twist so I can use 69gr Nosler CC bullets and the Velocity that I get is 940m/s. ES is less than 3m/s. It is an extremely accurate load, but in the wind it is quite poor...

Good shooting and a really nice video.
