[QUOTE="LRNut, post: 2833993, member: 3230"] Really? Where do you shoot at 800 in NJ? I have a gong at 760 (closest to 800) that I shoot at every day. I also shoot at 620. The TOF difference between the two shooting high BC bullets fast (28N/195, 300 RUM/225, 338LM or Edge/285/300) is enough to significantly elevate my wind misses when the wind is not constant (which it almost never is past 5 mph). I almost never miss at 620 no matter what the wind is doing, but 760 and farther is another story. I have a wind flag at my shooting site and if the wind is gusting enough to move it from 10 deg to 30 or 40 in one second, I know even a perfect wind call can result in a wind miss (I video every shot I take and analyze the vapor trails) simply because the wind can change during the TOF. I can't imagine how ugly it would look with a low BC bullet at low MV at 800 yards. [/QUOTE]
