I just set up a long range rig for the first time in my life. Tikka 300WM with a SWFA 3-15. I Never shot past 300 yards while hunting in the past. I just ran some numbers with the Hornady ballistic chart and it says the wind drift with a 208 amax going apx 2750 in a 10mph wind will be about 21 inches at 600 yards. I am thinking that is quite a bit of drift for that heavy bullet. So my question to you long range hunters or target shooters with lots of experience is what is the cut off point (wind speed) for you in a hunting situation shooting 300 yards and beyond. Le'ts say to 700 yards. Because right now I am thinking given how much a bullet drifts , I don't think I am shooting in anything more than a 10mph wind. What is your experience and where do you draw your limit line regarding wind speed.
Thanks
Dan
