[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 1124627, member: 5302"] This came up in a conversation about which crosswinds effect bullet drift the most; those closest to the firing point or those closest to the target. Here's Sierra Bullets' software plot for their 30 caliber 180-gr HPMK bullet leaving at 2650 fps. Green horizontal bullet path's that for a 10 mph crosswind from zero to 333 yards, red one's for bullet path with the same crosswind from 667 to 1000 yards: [IMG]http://i735.photobucket.com/albums/ww351/BartBob/07e4db87-25a3-4282-a466-45b9070c7068.png[/IMG] Wind in first third, about 44 inches at 1000 yards. Wind in last third, about 16 inches at 1000 yards. [/QUOTE]
