[QUOTE="woodmaster, post: 1049307, member: 88399"] What ever they tell you about wind listen, try to get every ounce of wind knowledge from them. At a 1000 yards your biggest enemy is the wind. You can buy the best equipment there is and build the best rounds all the same, learn to press the trigger the same each time but if the wind changes and you do not catch it you will miss. I can put 4 inside 6" usually its the one that is at 11" that gets me usually. At a match that makes it a 11" group. I am sure the 11 is a mis read wind change. I will get better at not misreading the wind but that will only happen with trigger time. Log ever shot you make direction to shoot for coriolis effect, humidity, wind direction loaded rounds data and where you thought it would hit and where it did. Eventually the data will start to make sense to you. It is discouraging at first. Also barrels are gone after 2500 or so rounds, cut rifling, not button pulled for your replacement. [/QUOTE]
