[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 277689, member: 4885"] Completely depends on a number of factors. 1) Is the wind consistent? 2) What is the distance? 3) Size of kill zone? (elk or antelope?) 4) Cartridge I'm using. For example, shooting a 338 Allen Mag at 600yds in a 30mph crosswind, the bullet only moves 4.5moa or about 2 feet. If It was a consistent wind, I'd have no problem making the shot. However, even at 200yds on a small target, if the wind is totally inconsistent, it can be a much tougher decision (especially with a cartridge that is not as ballistically strong). AJ [/QUOTE]
