Hello,
I shot these groups with a Savage Mk II BTVS .22LR yesterday.

Conditions were far from calm - windy and rather variable. Couldn't seem to shoot between wind shifts, so I adjusted for elevation and aimed dead center.
Looks like 2.2" was my best group. The shots which are lower - I miscalculated the elevation. Dangit. So I didn't include them in the groups.
These were shot prone off a bipod.
Ammo was CCI Blazer. I did not modify these with D Rock's tool - just wanted to get some shooting in before crashing out for the day.
On a calm day I can get this in under an inch with the same ammo.
Is there any way to compensate for the wind? How much effect would a variable crosswind - 5 to 15mph - have on a .22LR supersonic in flight?
Thanks,
Josh
