    Help with windage

    Is there a chart somewhere that could tell me the approximate effect of wind on various bullets? Specifically, a full value 10-15 mph on a 124 gr FNRP @ 1250 fps @50 yds.

    Here is one

    http://gundata.org/ballistic-calculator/

    You can also download the Nikon app. It has information for all the Nikon scopes but also provides a full ballistic table complete with wind and other atmospheric data.

    I use the Nikon app cause it gives scope adjustments for each distance.

    Hornady has a ballistic calculator that includes wind drift on their web site. You can plug in the numbers for any bullet/boolit you have the needed data for.
