[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 1818060, member: 97050"] That’s not how wind works. It does not blow your bullet. The vector angle of wind changes the angle of the bullet oringinal axis forces the rest of its flight in a weathervaning effect. The bullet size in some calculators do change the prediction ever so slightly, I’m talking about .025 mils at around 1000 in different grain bullets at different calibers as far as wind deflection between a .308 and a .223. The two biggest factors in wind deflection is BC and velocity. This is why when we make a mph gun wind chart (the original hodnett quick wind) everyone will have a different mph gun depending on variety guns/ bullets being used. [/QUOTE]
