The one person to consistently score is Brandon. He has been shooting there for so long that the wind changes have become ingrained.

Home field advantage.

What's everybody's opinion on the best suited .30 cal. projectile for this ?

I would suggest 300 Win Mag. Ryan Cleckner carried one in service in the GWOT when he was sniper team leader in the 1st Ranger Battalion 75th Ranger Regiment. His job was contacting an IPSC kind of target at various distances. He would dial elevation and hold left or right edge of target zone into the wind. Granted, most of his shots in service were less than 600 yards but it is a good place to start.

I primarily shoot 215's from my winmag and at 600 yards I haven't shot in wind yet that I've had to hold off of an IPSC size target.

I was just thinking, if I wanted to give myself every advantage I could in a situation like this, what would be the absolute best bullet for the job. I've been entertaining the idea of the Warner flatline 190's.

What case are are you using? Barrel twist?

Obvious answer is highest bc bullet that can be pushed fast enough to take advantage of it. A heavy for caliber bullet won't make much sense if the case doesn't have enough powder capacity to push it.

I was shooting norma brass. It's about at the end of ots life. Just picked a hundred pieces of Peterson long I need to fire form.

Barrel is a 9 twist Bart finished at 26"

In my 300wsm I've had good luck with 215 bergers. Definitely not shooting groups at 1000yds though. In my norma I had best luck with the atips. Didn't have any atips blow up on me, but heard its a thing.
