Round ball in wind while hunting

[NORD]

I thought this would be great information for hunting situations.

I know from some other shooters that there is a chart somewhere that shows what a bullet will do in different wind conditions. Like for example if you are shooting with a wind from your backside then the bullet will generally move up and to the left. How much all depends on how stiff the wind is. :hmm:

Does anybody here know where we can find this chart or information? :hmm:

What do you all do while hunting in windy conditions? How do you compensate...any suggestions?

I would guess that at 100 yards and under that it would be a "non-issue". I'm just guessing that you'd need at least a 50mph cross wind to really move the shot out of the kill zone! Or in other words, the wind might effect holding the rifle steady more than any bullet drift, at short muzzle-loader range. Maybe not. ???????

The question is interesting however. What I would wonder is how much different calibers drift, in comparison to others/each other...such as a .62 compared to a .54, .54 to a .50, .58, or .45, etc.
