[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 1942201, member: 97050"] Fake news. It all matters. The wind at the barrel determines the angle of the bullet, even if it was just windy where you’re at, once that bullet angle is moved the flight is affected the entire course in someway or another. the last 100m is subjective, the last 100m of a 500y shot pretty much doesn’t matter at all. The bullet is there in a fraction of a second. However as the BC and velocity slow down, mid range wind and target wind will start jumping your dope. This is why when using quick wind, typically after 600-700m you will skip a 1/10th of a mil in your dope for bullet decay. Wind dope ie; 500y/m= .5 per 6 mph 600y/m= .6 per 6 mph 700y/m= .8 per 6 mph 1000y/m= 1.2 per 6 mph etc etc. [/QUOTE]
