I've just started playing with a 223 lately. I was playing around shooting at 150-200 yards with some serious wind (30-40 mph at my 3 oclock). Shooting a 20 inch rock river predator upper with 69 grain otm ammo. Ballistic calculations say bullet travel should be 4 inch drop and about 15 or so inches left. I had a few hit 4 inches high and about 15 inches left. I was shooting from a bipod on ground.
Question is, is it possible for high gusting and swirling winds to actually blow a bullet upwards some in that situation.
I know that 223 in wind that high is unpredictable just curious.
