[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2677115, member: 15054"] I have been thinking of things and here in Oklahoma wind can gust 80mph and constant light 5-20 is what I deal with during deer gun season..Those light pills will get wind drift much easier than a heavy pill. Where I hunt I get swirling winds..so not just a 15 mph breeze from one direction .. Something to think about when taking long shots if you plan on long shots. I stepped off the spot I have an opportunity to kill deer and coyotes at on WMA land and it is 700 yards and the same WMA there are spots 2x that length. Not that I shoot that far.. But I will take 300 and 400 yard stuff. You must decide at what range you will be killing stuff. Just how accurate are you and your gun. I have recently shot my 243 30-06 and .308 at 300 yards..The .308 from cold bore to the last shot won the shoot out. but it is a fat barrel savage vs skinny barrel Mossberg's. That is about 1/2 the distance I would like to shoot at. :) [/QUOTE]
