[QUOTE="geeck, post: 3059960, member: 38369"] In high gusty full value winds I've seen my buddy shooting a M14 Service Rifle in an XTC match (we were the only 2 still shooting the M14) everyone else including the AMU (Army Marksmanship Unit) were shooting the Mouse Gun (AR15/M16) in 5.56/223. My buddy won the match but to give you an idea at 600yd he shot a 197/200 the closest AMU shooter shot a 189/200 that's a big difference folks against the Army's A-team. My buddy was shooting .30 cal Berger185 Juggs on top a case full of power. The AMU would probably have been shooting 80-82 gr bullets out of their Mouse Guns A big part of the win was his strategy in the wind. He was shooting for 3 o'clock in the 10 ring the wind was blowing right to left. The wind was steady (about 6moa at 600yd) with gusting winds. If he got caught in a gust he had entire 10 and X ring about 2 moa to play with, which is a little over 13 inches. Which is pretty close to the size of the vitals of North America big game. The AMU are trained to shoot for the X ring and I guess that's hard to turn off. Your strategy in the wind will make a big difference in your success, know how to read the wind, how your bullet preforms, and wait for conditions before breaking the shot. [/QUOTE]
