Greetings,
I have been shooting up to 700 yards with different calibers and here I have no answer.
I shot a CAR-15 with ACIG. Mounted on it. It is a horseshoe with dot in center. 1:9 twist.
Wind 7 miles per hour left to right.
75 degrees. Sunny.
55 grains soft point Hornady at around 3000 ft/sec.
15 rounds groups:
Dead center at 100 yards. Group size 1". I used the top of dot.
Dead center at 200 yards. Group size 3". I used center of dot (centered on target)
300 yards: used the top of line. Group is 6" to the right.
300 yards: used the top of the dot. Group is 3" low and still 6 inches to the right.
I cannot believe it is the wind that does that significant lateral movement. Is it?
Thank you
