Competed in a practice match this past weekend and thought I had done my home work calculating movers reviewed this link http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=724020 numerous times. Shot deliberates at 400 and 500 making good wind calls at those distances then onto movers at 400. I might as well have then throwing rocks with my success rate so what happened.
30 inch target
This is how I went about calculating hold.
400 yards 12 mph wind put 4min
walking speed based on 3mph
As referenced in the link I calculated hold and then used the simpler .6 per mph or 1.8 mil or 6.75 moa lead.
Even with the 3mph increase/reduction in calculated wind speed that is a little over 1 min (4 inches), my 1.8 mil lead should have worked (NO???) it wasn’t until I reduced the lead with and increased against the wind that I was more consistant.
Where did I go wrong?
Scope was fixed 10x with true mil reticle
308 168grs @2700fps
p.s.
Lindy is right the movers at 100 look like they are running compared to 400.
Thanks
