[QUOTE="foggy, post: 1415188, member: 79995"] The wind that impacts the bullet at the start of its travel, as it leaves the barrel, doesn't have to push that bullet much at all, but a tiny amount at the muzzle pushes the pellet for its whole travel, flight time. whereas the wind at 450 yards can only affect the bullet in the last 50 yards. imagine a gust at the muzzle of 20 mph for only a split second as the bullet leave, it affects the whole flight time of the bullet to the target, the split second wind at 450 yards only affects it in its last 50 yards... Hope that makes sense,,,, it did to me Ha Ha ... [/QUOTE]
