This past season was my first with the new Savage 12 LRP, and so now that my load is developed with applicable drop rates I am collecting wind drift data. Here are the wind values I calculated. It's difficult to record conditions and settings during the match, so I'm stuck with using calculators based on my drop data. Perhaps someone with a similar load can share their wind drift data for comparison?
