[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2501630, member: 9299"] At the 800yd mark with only that caliber AND a [B]steady[/B] 10mph wind, which [B]it NEVER does[/B], you have a near 10" variation in drift. On deer and similar size game, that can be the difference between a kill or gut shot or similar. Now consider winds are always variable velocity and sometime not even the same direction at varied distances. happens here a lot. Reducing variable wind drift helps to reduced missed or wounded animals, or it keeps a 10 or X score from going 8 or 7. There are reasons high BC bullets are used, but for some, they may not have a desire nor need for them. [/QUOTE]
