Ok I reread the post and saw that the wind was from 5-10mph form 4-8 oclock. To me that makes the showing even worse <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />
From my .35 Whelen and 250 gr loads(worst ballistic combo I have) the max drift for a 90degree wind is 8-16" at 400, considering the wind was swirling it would more likely be 0 to 6" in either direction. Move up to a decent load in a measly .308 (150xxx at 3000) and the full drift value is 5.5-13" at 400. I didnt even want to look at numbers for the "flat shooting" stuff they were using.
The more I thought about it the culprit was the loose nut behind the trigger.. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
And before someone says Im being to cocky I fully admit my biggest mystery miss is a coyote at 200yards from the prone with a target rifle...got to love it when your humbled.
