[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 975485, member: 50867"] Wind doping is a lifetime study that you never master. The variables are endless and the best you will ever do is understand how it (theoretically) effects your bullet - but you'll never fully understand where the effect takes place and at to what degree of influence over any given path at any given time. Another factor is your scope adjustment accuracy. Can you be absolutely certain that 1 MOA of adjustment in the turret equals exactly 1 MOA at 1200 yards? Even the better grade scopes can have some degree of error in their range of adjustment. Spend a few bucks and buy yourself a copy of "Applied Ballistics for Long Range Shooting" (Bryan Litz). His section on wind, all by itself, it worth the price of the book. There's so much information in that book that I'll probably have to read my copy half a dozen times to get it all in my head but he backs his work up with solid scientific data so it's worth the time - besides winter is coming and I can read it again a couple of times before spring. gun) [/QUOTE]
