sorry if this is is the wrong place. seemed like the most reasonable
copy and pasted (rough math would put that at about 65 MOA for wind drift at under 1k) what kind of wind would you have to have for that? did not specify projectile just said 338 Lapua Magnum
By contrast, much of the U.S./Coalition urban sniping in support of operations in Iraq is at much shorter ranges, although in one notable incident on April 3, 2003, Corporals Matt and Sam Hughes, a two-man sniper team of the Royal Marines, armed with L96 sniper rifles each killed targets at a range of about 860 metres (941 yd) with shots that, due to strong wind,<span style="color: #FF9900"> had to be fired “exactly 17 meters (56 ft) to the left of the target for the bullet to bend in the wind.”</span>
