At 1000yds this load would only have about 138" of wind drift which is approx 70" better than the same bullet at 2950fps. That is a real advantage.
I got told once that an expert was "a drip under pressure" :yaeh am not durnk:Quote:

I also found this
Beaufort Wind Scale Windspeed
in MPH Description - Visible Condition
0 Calm smoke rises vertically
1 - 4 Light air direction of wind shown by smoke but not by wind vanes
4 - 7 Light breeze wind felt on face; leaves rustle; ordinary wind vane moved by wind
8 - 12 Gentle breeze leaves and small twigs in constant motion; wind extends light flag
13 - 18 Moderate breeze raises dust and loose paper; small branches are moved
19 - 24 Fresh breeze small trees in leaf begin to sway; crested wavelets form on inland water
25 - 31 Strong breeze large branches in motion; telephone wires whistle; umbrellas used with difficulty
32 - 38 Moderate gale whole trees in motion; inconvenience in walking against wind
39 - 46 Fresh gale breaks twigs off trees; generally impedes progress
47 - 54 Strong gale slight structural damage occurs; chimney pots and slates removed
55 - 63 Whole gale trees uprooted; considerable structural damage occurs
64 - 72 Storm very rarely experienced; accompanied by widespread damage
73+ Hurricane devastation occurs
At last, something useful in this thread.
My 338 drifts less than an inch in a 30 knot sidewind @ 100 yards. 300gr (.450 g7 BC) @ 3,275 fps.Quote:

That's pretty impresive so is that the 338 Lapua Magnum or some other 338? Also which projectile are you using?Quote:

Dad, what's the blow-hole for?
I'll tell you what it's not for, son. And when I do, you'll understand why I can never go back to Sea World.
