The efect of wind on shots with .300 winmag?
Hi all. Some of you may know from posts that I am going elk hunting this month for the first time (Chama area). You guys have helped with boots and bullet types and weights. Thanks
I got to a 200 yard range for the first time last weekend. I thought I was sighted in pretty well. But I was shooting about 3-5 inches to the left at 200 yards. Wind was from the right at 10-15 mph. How much would a 15 mph wind push a 180 grain bullet at 200 yards
This from a Custom Argentine mauser in 300 win mag with free floated 22" barrel, and Docter Optic 3x9x40 scope.
Thanks

PS my back up gun, a savage 110 in '06 with acutrigger and bushnell banner 3x9 scope shot well at 200 yards. 2-3 inch groups. I am shooting better with it than my win mag. MAybe I should use it on my elk hunt as my main rifle? '06 with 180 grain oughta do it for muley and elk, right? (250 yard self imposed range limit)
