[QUOTE="PNWdude67, post: 2005413, member: 110615"] At 400 with any of the 6.5-300 magnums shooting decent BC bullets Around 3000 fps dial 1.5 mils up and hold .1 for each 2mph of full value Wind. That ends up at half a mil for a 10 mph wind. The other rule of thumb is magnums are usually 5-7 mph guns. This means for a 5 mph wind with a 5 mph gun hold .3 at 300,.4 at 400,.5 at 500 and so on .... if you have a 6 mph gun (faster and better BC bullet) it takes 6 mph wind to have the same effect. As far as what is full value or not keep it simple. For a left to right wind coming from 730-1030 start with the full 9 o’clock value, 7 and 11 use half value 12 and 6 straight up or just shade the side its fishtailing from most. If you’re using MOA or inches you’re on your own. JK the same principles apply the number for values are just different. [/QUOTE]
