[QUOTE="sp6x6, post: 1818309, member: 21869"] Heres a experience that happened to me. I bought a 257 for pest and antelope,as many say what a fine goat gun. Im set up on a side hill,my wind meter less than 5,goat at roughly 600.I shot and miss, by a goat length.Get up go that direction and strong wind across coulee.This happens more than once.I grew up mountain hunting and lighter wind effect.I get looking at my ballistic and 1000 yrd hold for wind on my 257=2.6 mil, hold on same 338 =1.1 mil.And this was just for 10 mph and wind usually much more on east side.This a comparing large difference BC, but I started hunting the speed goats with my 338 and really helped me fight the hard to call praire wind.Its hard to see also. This I guess would be a extreme example [/QUOTE]
