Sissy! :haha:
Winds at my house have calmed down to 30 mph from 90 mph on Sat. :shocked2: When this happens in North Carolina they call it a Hurricane. Where I live we just call it a bad day for hanging the wash.
Good decision though. Eighteen mph wind could throw your results way off.
roundball said:...it just seems from past experince that deer move less when the trees are swaying, and blowing a lot of the fall leaves off the trees here now, the woods are in a constant state of motion...and they lose one of their senses (sight) to detect motion...tend to move more after the wind dies some, normally after dark on a day like this.

Correct...and distance was more of a mitigating factor than just terminal ballistics...it would exaggerate any POI problems there might have been with the 80grn charge/double ball load which I'd never shot on paper...had no idea where it would print.BrownBear said:Works for me. When trying something new and maybe marginal, maybe not, it pays to be conservative. If you'd already had good luck at 40 or something like that, you'd have lots more info before taking the shot.

Wow, that was a trip back down memory lane...2008...I guess the reality is if a .40cal was all I happened to have and I needed the extra 'ummph', a double ball load would potentially offer some sort of an alternative.Herb said:
