    Wind at 100 yards

    We shot Sunday and the wind was blowing but not crazy by any means. We shot a lot of groups with 6 different rifles and everything was blown right. I should have taken a picture of the target. Not a huge amount but an inch to 1.5 inches. I have discussed this in the past, but how much does wind effect 556, 308, 300WM at 100 yards. ie 5 or 10 mph.

    Maybe it was not the wind but it was just nuts how EVERYTHING hit right.

    As a side note, we were testing my new LMT MRP 10.5 that Brownells had on sale for $699. The 8X Burris XTR scope is not ideal for shooting groups as the reticle has little dots that are hard to see on a target at 100 yards so we shot a couple groups at 100 that were 1.5 to 2 inches which isn't bad for scope and 10.5 then I said , lets try 50 yards and see what happens, .5 MOA at 50 yards. I think maybe some wind and some scope limitations explains that situation.
