    Wind

    Just trying the 7mm RM at the range at 200m with a side wind averaging about 25km/h and gusting to around 35km/h (left to right). I'm guessing the horizontal spread of about 39mm or 0.7 MOA is more to do with wind than anything. Looks OK vertically.



    Might have to wait for a little less wind to zero.

    Then you would want fps as mph is also for cars.

    Just using the metservice data which is kmh and comes from the airport which the range is tucked behind. The conversion from anything to something else is pretty easy.
