[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2368459, member: 61747"] The issue is that your choice in cartridge can also be viewed as a poor choice for long range hunting. You could definitely pick a much more effective cartridge for fighting wind. Just because it doesn't make sense to throttle back a 300 to you does not negate the argument that is a valid option. My only point is that arguing a suppressor is extremely detrimental to performance has little merit. I also have a 3006. Running numbers such as a 178 eld at 2850 vs 2700, the impact at 800 yards for reduction in fps is .5 moa for 10 mph wind. There is nothing extremely detrimental about that. Additionally, if you can't get a good read on the wind then don't take the shot. I've passed on plenty of shot ops just to make things go more in my favor. I see no honor in killing for bragging rights so I'll walk away if I have to. I will totally agree with your statement that every advantage helps. That may mean moving closer, picking a better cartridge and bullet, and train more. Good luck on your matches and hunting. I am thick into predator season myself. [/QUOTE]
