[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3162922, member: 15054"] I was shooting on a clear pipeline that had hills up and down and the wind was blowing. Could not hit the pile of rocks at 700+ yards. walked to the pile and wind hit us in the face at the first 100 yards then from the side from both directions then nearing the top of the hill the wind was at our backs and blowing to the right. Dang winds rolling over mountains.(tall hills really). Shooting 30-06 22" barrel at 3030 fps 150gr flat base .338 BC and .308 24" barrel with 165 game king HPBT at 2780 fps. .363 BC. Both guns would shoot exactly the same as far as hits were concerned. usually falt land at 500 yards both would stay just under 5" groups. Forget it when winds picked up and you could not see them and they were from all directions. I would think something much faster or much heavier could have bucked the issues better. Think 220 gr at 2800fps :) Welcome to Oklahoma [/QUOTE]
