If there's a cross wind of 5-8 m.p.h. , How much do you adjust ? 2 inches ? Two and three quarters ? Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency. Neck Ties, Hats and ammo brass, Never ,ever touch'em w/o asking first | ||

With my data input. Using 62gn at 400 yards with an 8 mph full 90 deg wind I get 18.5" or 4.5 MOA wind hold. That will change depending on the angle of the wind, 3/4 , 1/2 value etc. | |||

With the wind coming from about 1:30 it will change to about 10" or 2.5 MOA. | |||

Pretty certain you're asking ballistics about the Trump assassination attempt. 400 feet to target -- which is about 133 yards. I'll assume air Density Altitude of 3,000 feet, using JBM Ballistics. From my own 16" barrel rifles -- MV of 3,020 for 55 FMJ, and MV of 2,630 for Hornady 75 HPBT Black. The 55 FMJ drifts 1.8" for a 10 mph crosswind -- from 3 or 9 o'clock. At 8 mph the drift is 1.4", and at 5 mph the drift is .9". The 75 BTHP drifts 1.5" for a 10 mph crosswind -- from 3 or 9 o'clock. At 8 mph the drift is 1.2", and at 5 mph the drift is .7". | |||

Key note - 400 feet not 400 yards Fritz’s comments are based on 400 feet. | |||

I was astounded at the first answer, But I am not a rifle shooter. Frit's answer sounds like what I guesstimated , With almost no experience . Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency. Neck Ties, Hats and ammo brass, Never ,ever touch'em w/o asking first | |||

And, don't mediocre rifle shooters hit eight and a half by 11 inch targets on a pretty regular basis at 200 yards with 556 ammo ? Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency. Neck Ties, Hats and ammo brass, Never ,ever touch'em w/o asking first | |||

Yeah, that M14 video guy...![]() |
Off a bench with a sand bag or rest, with no adrenaline, not on a time-restriction, and not having just pointed your rifle at a retreating cop... yes. Had he been taking a body shot, this would have had a different outcome. Of course, we don't know what part of the body he was aiming at. Tony.
