haven't loaded them for the STW, I'm guessing I could get 2800-2900 from it, I did work up a load with 160 accubonds for it at 3340 fps.
I'm pushing the 200's 3250 in my 7mm AM, if my brass will hold out I should start some chart workups this week.

About the wind doping, its part mathematical formulas, part experience. How do you get good? you shoot in the worst winds during practice, check the results and gain experience at it.
After the 30 mph wind kicks your tail a few times at the target range, then you better understand how to deal with a 15 mph.
You can see alot about the wind by using an experienced eye looking through the scope down the bullets path, If you've done your homework you know 1 of 2 things, Either you know you can make the shot, or its time to pass. There is no middle ground.
Folks may know what the wind does at 1000 yards, but do they know how we deal with it?
