Ammo choice?

[JeffG]

It was windy at our local match today. It got me wondering if anyone chooses higher velocity ammo over their most accurate standard velocity stuff on windy days?

No. I shoot target ammo in calm and windy conditions. It simply out performs the high velocity stuff all the time. I'm not a technical genius but I believe its due to superior BC at subsonic velocities and elimination of the transonic effect.

That's all i got to say about that - Gump

Dan the man posted a study a few years ago that he did on that topic. His conclusion was that the faster you shoot a 22 bullet, the worse the BC becomes. The better the BC, the better it does in the wind. I hope he is OK with me reminding you all of his tests.

Have a chat with the match director before you try high velocity ammo. Most clubs we shoot at restrict shooting to standard velocity ammo to avoid target damage.
