Humbled today by 400 yards

and a 12mph tail wind. Set up an 8" gong at 400 yards, and was shooting out of the back of a pick up truck on the family farm. My goodness. The wind. It was actually variable between about 5 and 15, and zero and 3/4 value. Pretty much the windiest condition I've ever shot in over the last two years of playing around with the rifle past 200 yards.

I hit it twice... out of 10 attempts. Shooting some new hand loads in my .308, I may need to double check those at the range; only shot them at 100 yards so far (they were shooting 1/2moa at 100). They may be getting wonky on me out past a couple hundred yards. At least.. that's what my pride would like to believe! I had 1.6 mil elevation dialed; it seemed good, but I kept missing left to right. And here I thought I could shoot. Geeze.
