[QUOTE="trappers son, post: 984719, member: 48330"] what would happen if your variables changed.... this experiment is true for the given variables but could the factors' influence change in significance if the experimental parameters were changed.... such as having a 7mm pushing 180 hybrids close to 3300 in wind that was 40 miles per/hour.... I have not crunched the numbers but I would expect that the higher bc and time of flight to the first five hundred would reduce influence of wind effects at the muzzle when the velocity of the bullet is faster and bucks the wind more in comparison to your experimental scenarios, and the later condition of comparison (0 wind 1st 500, 40 wind 500-100) would have more influence due to the slower velocity of the bullet, its reduced bc and the greater influence of the wind upon the projectile outside of the consideration of the point of influence and distance from target. I don't know if my scenario would actually reduce the magnitude of influence that early wind farthest from target would affect bullet trajectory or challenge the wholeness of your statements about early influences always having more impact on bullet path in comparison to later ones closer to target but I bet if someone was creative enough and wasted enough of their time, they could do the math and find scenarios that contradict your rule of thumb in specific or unique scenarios by changing factors such as wind speed, bc, bullet velocity, distance to target, variation of land features at varied distances etc etc ...... I believe your hypothesis is accurate but I think for every law there is an exception.... thanks for the good read [/QUOTE]
