[QUOTE="Chase723, post: 2366303, member: 21524"] I do realize that and obviously land on the side of the fact that I would 10/10x cut a 300 win mag down and suppress it, instead of running a longer barreled 30-06. Furthermore, in the 300 win mag the velocity neutrality you mention and referenced doesn’t hold true when you load even heavier .308 caliber projectiles like the 230gr. Regardless, it’s not magic. You can use a ballistic calculator and figure everything out before you do anything like that and determine for yourself if it’s worth the trade off. The wind drift you mention is a prime example, though the figures the article referenced were 57” and 69” for a full value 10pm wind. 12” of drift is significant however we don’t hold or dial for wind in inches. We either use mils or MOA. So in this example you’re either going to hold 1.5 or 1.7mils. Also not magic. Your ability to determine wind speed and direction is going to be the determining factor since the difference between those values is 1mph, which is incredibly difficult to do. [/QUOTE]
