Good article!
I can "dial" so accurately for distance, under almost all conditions, that it's scary!
W-I-N-D is the variable and one that I try to practice/shoot in to get it right.
Like I've said before, I'll shoot at a target in any wind and at any range but I'm VERY conservative with loosing a bullet on big game.

I'm going to read the article again and re-read it often to remind me of wind effect.

I'll be shooting at 600 and 900 tomorrow again and pray for some wind. lol

Thanks,
Zeke

I shot Saturday with great results and then I got a call from my FFL dealer that, after 11 months, I was finally suppressor-approved!

I just had to try out the brand new Gov-approved-stamp suppressor, on Sunday, with the 6.5 x 280 AI at 600 and 900.

Settled on 3 clicks up and 2 clicks right and it's right back on the money with the suppressor.

*not much wind to play with and groups were too good to publish on the internet.
