Yes that’s true, some days we just pack up and go home or just do not go to the range. We want good data to make good decisions when testing loads but in the same breath there are days when I just have to get something done and having a flag of two out helps me read the results and improve my...
We can choose our days for testing ( and trust me I do) but we can’t change the weather at a match. Myself I need all the practical practice I can get.
One way to help mitigate conditions is to shoot round robin test groups but they needed to be shot at a smooth steady pace and lots of guys...
There is always some wind, how much it’s affecting the bullets is the question.
A slight 3 mph breeze barely detectable can move a hi bc 108 Berger about 3/4 at 200 yards, toss in a little gust at 6 mph and now that’s 1.4 this doesn’t sound like much but certainly enough to put me into last...
As far as I know all rcbs presses take the same shell holders. But not all shell holder brands interchange.
Follow the chart for a specific cartridge...
I recall Mountain tactical ( Tikka precision) shooting a 1-8 out to a thousand yards with heavy’s beyond 69 gr. with good accuracy.

Seems a limited interest in using wind flags.
I thank those who’ve posted to the thread and hope value is found to those who do not currently use them.

Without the last group on the target j posted, the information is totally different without knowing the conditions.
Just to add a thought.. when testing we don’t compensate for wind we interpret and try to remember how far the bullets are getting pushed around so when it’s time to practice or...
Not everyone owns a set of flags but a small bit of surveyors tape tied to a tree limb is better than nothing.
There is always threads about load development or ladder tests but rarely do you see conditions mentioned or noted. When asked the normal reply is that there wasn’t any wind.
Really ...
During the period of time I shot the above test target I had very calm conditions on the first three shots followed by a light breeze quartering towards me from my right, during the third three shots the light breeze changed to a switching head wind and picked up slightly, had I not shot the...
I was told recently that it wasn’t a matter of reading the wind it was matter of reading the load.
This was a puzzling statement as I wondered how do know if the wind is skewing the results or not or by how much ?
