i've been shooting 155 gr. amaxs (gun likes them) in my local clubs f class matches (300 yds) and they do very good. but noticed this year when i shot my first out to 1000 yds i had to wait for the wind flags to drop to keep the wind from pushing them around. also got really bad when i shot the in a match that went out to 700 yds the wind was a full value wind but would change direction at will. i solved this by adjusting the scope for the direction it was mainly blowing and using a hold over for when it changed the other direction.
this got me to thinking about trying a heavier bullet i'm thinking somewhere in the 175-185 range with 175 being more to mind. so my question is for you who shoot those grain heads out to 1000 yds do they buck the wind fairly good? i know the higher the b.c the better and will run the gambit of different makers to see what my rifle likes and doesnt like for powder i prefer varget and have good luck with it but can change to others.
the rifle is :
savage lrpv
shilen select match barrel 1-10t bull barrel 30" long
cases will be lapua and primers will vary since i swap primers till i find a combination that works.
