[QUOTE="dbs1, post: 1141589, member: 91085"] Living in NE AZ and having a place 10 min away I can shoot 700yrds. I set up a 4x8 pc of plywood to work with and started at 300yrds working out to 720yrds. Using my AR in 223 and then my Abolts in 204, 22.250 and 270wsm I was amazed at the diff in wind drift with just a 5-7 mph cross wind. Once out to 500yrds I was seeing an 18" to 24" with all the calibers but the 270wsm. That thing at 500yrds was 4" and at 720yrds around 6". At 720 with the others I had to make a mark 4" in on one side to keep it on the plywood. An eye opener for me in regards to long shots in the flats or cross canyon shooting yotes with much wind to speak of. 140 gr AB at 3100. And I've yet to have one run off and I don't worry about the pelts. It's my lightest gun of the Abolts, weighing in at 9.5 lbs with a brake, syn stock, limbsaver recoil pad and bipod and recoil is very manageable. But it's my Elk and deer gun as well. [/QUOTE]
