On Sunday afternoon in a match at 600yds we plotted out 12moa left wind to get to the bull & scored Bull / V in between gusts at 11.5moa! Thats a six foot deviation! - Is that a record?
What is the target centres on Century? could we have just aimed at the next target upwind & put on 2moa right?

We tend to give bulls a wider berth than that...

Is that you being responsible in case they catch a nasty disease from you?

Wow!...I had 6moa on at 600 a few weeks back, and thought that was windy!

well thats about 24 MOA! but at 600yds with a 556/223 head coming in at 60 grains that's darned windy but poss still not quite as much as 12 moa on a 155 grain 308? at about 8 moa the flags stop showing any difference & you have to take into account the bend in the pole! aaarggh
...........does anyone have wind defection in MOA for .556/.223? dousafav look up 24moa at 600yds & report back for a 3o'clock wind will you.........
