Re: ULTIMATE LONG RANGE BIG GAME CARTRIDGE??

I feel I can do well in perfect conditions but I have been very disappointed when I have tried to dope the wind at paper targets from 300 out.Doping the wind is an art.

Wind in deep depressions/valleys is a killer.It can swirl in one direction in front of you and the opposite close to the target. I had one paper target where the wind was blowing UP next to the target.Better to shoot on the side of the hill approximately in the middle.Even then you may be out of luck because of a deader space of air between you and the hill.

Sometimes you have to have a spotter to compensate when shooting paper.And no that doesn't work with big game. They don't wait around.

Moral of the story--I don't shoot past 250 with any kind of a 10mph+ steady wind blowing.Why? I tend to get PO'd with the poor results.
