When you say "windage" you are not meaning a breeze or wind - but this is to do with how the projectile spins out of a specific barrel (as in all rifles have a different effect/reaction on this)
So distance is needed to ascertain this sideways movement - whereas short range will not show its exaggeration/extent of
