Calculations for wind
« on: November 25, 2008, 03:02:04 PM »
Hey guys, can any of you tell me where I can get a book or a chart for windage adjustment out to 1500 yds. I have never had to adjust for it that much without someone helping and they are no longer here to help. Are there different figures for different calibers? Does BC have any variable on it? Thanks Chad

BC is the number one variable in wind drift.

Play around with these for awhile.

I have Sierra software that will consider winds speed and angle.
