General drop and wind drift chart

[72camaro]

I thought I seen on here a general drop and wind drift chart of varius store bought loads, one being the Hornady .243 loads, anyone have a link for it?

Remington had one, type in Remington Rimfire Ballistics and it should show. www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CDMQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.remington.com%2F~%2Fmedia%2FFiles%2FCatalogs%2F2010%2F2010_Ballistics.ashx&ei=tS-xUIP4Nsm0iwK48IGQCQ&usg=AFQjCNGOcegndvxyW6TFt94VQgwKU8EzYQ&sig2=4yPaTDy-MkbDfQLslQZaOQ

And Federal has one too but I have it as a file and it would not attach but I think Gary from here sent it out.

Here is another interesting article on arc and the kill zone of different calibers. www.chuckhawks.com/rifle_trajectory_table.htm

The one thing I found very interesting is the wind drift. I use my .17hmr for Whistle Pigs and really could not believe I was missing some as I was compensating for wind but evidently not enough. The Federal Chart is really good. At 100yds with the Idaho wind blowing about 20mph and some higher gusts my .17hmr was off 3.6 inches, a lot more than I thought it would be. Even the .243 numbers are pretty surprising on how much drift there is with 10mph winds and a longer shot.
