Great video with very good examples. I really Ike that you used the same speed with the different bullets.

[@markandsamafterwork]

Thanks Man, Cheers

[@stormiewutzke4190]

I don't know why I didn't know that. This was one of the most informative shooting videos I have seen in a long time. Your stuff is always interesting. Thanks.

Thanks Stormie, cheers

Hey Mark
Great video Mate very well explained and easily understood thank you Steve .

[@markandsamafterwork]

Thanks Steve, Cheers man, all the best.

[@steveyork8069]

I love shooting on breezy days,it’s more challenging than calm days.More rewarding to hit your mark after corrections,but it’s always rewarding just hitting your mark in any conditions.🍻👍

[@markandsamafterwork]

Yep, lol, Cheers

[@SixOFord]

I'm still getting the hang of distance on calm days haha. Although it is fun chasing small targets at around 300 yards with a 22 on a breezy day. The 22 has been a good wind teacher for me.

[@scottrussell6717]

I have been reloading and shooting for 25 years.. I still learn something from you

Great video always make it simple to understand for new shooters I wish I had a quarter of your knowledge also do y'all have and vehicles in the summernats burnout competition

[@crafter170]

Another fine video .One word ......WOW .....Ps have you guys done a video on bullet placement when shooting up a hill at an angle .I always had to aim low at short range when removing pigeons etc .Keep up the good work .Your time and effort is noted.

[@markandsamafterwork]

Thanks Man, and best advice for that stuff is go out and practice, that will let you learn your scope holds, there are tables, apps and alike, but for what your talking about, on the rifle learning is best, Cheers

[@crafter170]

@@markandsamafterwork Yip ...Suppose so .Nothing better than actual field tests.Thanks .

[@603sportsman8]

You always have good videos. I was wondering if you have been able to work with the 6.5PRC rounds yet. I just picked up my first long range rifle chambered in the 6.5PRC and since it's still pretty new there isn't much information on it out there yet.

[@markandsamafterwork]

Thanks Man, and no we have the 6.5 GAP, it's just a little higher on the power but very similar, as is the necked WSM and SAUM, all about the same, but no plans to go there at this stage, Cheers

[@jamest151]

We enjoy extreme winds and extreme temperatures in Western Arizona. Might you have a thought on the combination or is it in your catalog already? I ve seen several with mirage playing on hard. Thanks for the sharing you two do. Generous of you!

[@markandsamafterwork]

Well we have lots of videos of shooting in decent wind, but mirage, well we have a video to explain the realities of that, might worth a look, Cheers

[@John-uo1qf]

Amazing presentation. You put a lot into the prep for this. Thanks!
So the question is, what bullet is least affected by wind when considering both BC and the highest possible muzzle velocity?

[@markandsamafterwork]

Thanks Man, and lol, Cheers

[@stormiewutzke4190]

If I understood right it's a combination since a high BC bullet will be in the air for the shortest amount of time since it retains it's speed. If two bullets have the same construction and the same weight they have the same amount of surface area. Don't quote me on that but that was what I took home. Going forward it's different because all the weight is behind the same surface area and there may be some lifting force at work.

[@michaelreed1380]

That .416 is long and slender... very sexy. Thanks Mark, cheers!

[@markandsamafterwork]

Thanks Mike, Cheers and all the best man.

[@Richy0352]

You are a wealth of knowledge. What's the most efficient short action round you know of?

[@markandsamafterwork]

Thanks man, and sorry, not the sort hook I bite, lol, Cheers

[@Richy0352]

[@mgabriel2636]

Ignoring the minute effects of lateral aerodynamic jump, and assuming the same flight time to target, rather than the same muzzle speed, one sees that the sideways sectional density and sideways ballistic coefficient (yes, even at 15 mph) are key variables in predicting wind effect on a various projectiles to various distances in varying crosswinds.

[@markandsamafterwork]

Lol, cheers

[@joshawageorge2122]

Hi just wondering if you ever tried to shoot a reversed twist barrel to aid with wind drift ,if not try it with your favourite rifle in the different winds you might notice the different resistance

[@markandsamafterwork]

Makes little difference.

[@JohnDoe-zg6fn]

@MarkandSam AfterWork I was just curious. When you take those extreme long shots do you ever factor in the a Corioles Effect? I hear so many people talking about that when long distance shooters take these long shots that they must factor in the rotation of the Earth and if not then they have no chance of making the shot. So was just curious your thoughts on this. I have watched a countless number of your videos (which are all awesome) and have never seen you do this unless you just do it in your head I’m not sure, but would love to hear what you think. Thank you again sir!!!

[@markandsamafterwork]

Search the channel John, we have videos on the subject, Cheers
