Default RE: Wind Effect on T/C Shockwaves

Ok, I ran the ballsitics this evening - had to make a couple of assumptions. One you were using a scope - which makes no difference in windage numbers and that you were shooting level again no difference in windage. Not sure of your altitude so I plugged in a 1000 ft. Plugged in a kill zone of plus or minus 4" @ 100 yards. That calulated out to holding dead on out to 127 & 158 yds.

I also left the range increments in 50 yard increments - I probably should have run 25 yard increments for a ML

The other big assumption was velocity from my own ballistics I assumed somewhere around 1800 feet per second with 100 grains of t7 pellets.

here are the results....

If you notice in the wind deflection column 15/20 winds can be a real problem for a ML - all comes down to time in flight & bullet weight.

Hope these come up for you...

Good luck - let me know if I can help out with anything else...
