[QUOTE="Mach 1, post: 1687885, member: 104202"] At 1000 yards a 90 degree 5mph wind will blow a 6.5 bullet off 2.2 moa. The same direction 10mph wind will blow the same round off 5.5 moa. That’s 25 inches of added wind drift for just a5 mph wind change. The atip compared to the 140 Berger hybrid like I shoot has 10 inches less wind drift at 1000 yards. So imo I will take the round that shoots best in my gun and I’m comfortable with. We aren’t shooting an animal with the kill zone the size of an elk or ever a whitetail. I’ve shot countless whitails and a few mullies with 200 gr sierra matchkings , before going to the 215 hybrid, and they are notorious for not expanding or shredding the jacked instantly. They are unpredictable, but if a good shot it made the deer don’t go anywhere reguardless of the range. [/QUOTE]
