[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 1818254, member: 97050"] You’re issue with wind has multiple components to it. Just keep in mind, no money or gear/components are going to make you or anyone else a better shooter, or wind caller without taking steps to learn how to data or dope the wind. Second as eluded a higher BC bullet will have better ballistics. It’s not arguable. This includes the wind. To understand, I recommend you look into lag time related to crosswind. Cross wind component is the only thing we as shooters care about for wind drift. So I’m not talking about any vertical components like AJ (aerodynamic jump). Once you understand lag time, know that a higher BC will reduce this lag time. Next is velocity. There’s a long explanation as to how this affects lag time but in short, a drag coefficient (not related to BC) is lower at a higher speed. This compressed lag time, and in short, the combination reduces your wind hold. [/QUOTE]
