[QUOTE="Broken Brow, post: 511904, member: 34141"] [COLOR=black][COLOR=black][FONT=Arial]You don’t normally see windage tables for a shotgun, but when you are shooting at long range you to treat your shotgun like a rifle. Under consistent wind conditions, your pattern should maintain its density, but it will drift just like a bullet. This is probably the biggest mistake a hunter can make on a long shot. If this is more than you want to tackle, just understand that you need to reduce your maximum range when the winds pick up. Not doing so will mean the fringes of your pattern hit the bird rather than the center.[/FONT][/COLOR] These windage tables should be relatively close for Hevi-Shot, Remington HD, Winchester Xtended Range, Hevi-13, and ITX Extreme Turkey Trauma-13. Lead of equal shot size should drift more. Federal Heavyweight and TSS of equal size should drift less.
