[QUOTE="EXPRESS, post: 1168794, member: 1441"] I should clarify a bit, that when I said "up to 20%" increase in wind up the middle of a valley, I should have said as an average. With a light wind, it can easily double for instance. To go from a 3 to a 6 mph wind is nothing, while a 30 is not so easily going to become a 60mph wind, onviously. I shot again yesterday in a 20 mile wind, same direction, and put the shot into the same group. Yesterday I gave it 1.1mil of windage. It's somewhat frustrating that while I continue to dial what wind I think I need, to be off by the same 3 clicks each time. I'll try to find the time to check zero at 100. Also the group is not inside 1" - the shots are about 1" from each other, making for a 4 shot group inside 3" so far. The group size is still great to me, because these are cold bore, different day setup shots in different conditions. [/QUOTE]
