Sure thing. First, lock the target and set your distance. Then break it down: wind speed and direction are the variables you can tweak, altitude is a constant you just have to account for. Use a windage table that gives you drift per yard for each mph of cross‑wind—stick to the same table for consistency. For altitude, adjust the trajectory angle by the standard drop per mile and then refine with your own drop table if you have one. Keep a simple formula: drift = (wind speed ÷ 10) × distance, then add a small correction for altitude changes. If you can, pre‑heat the barrel and use a ballistic calculator that inputs your BC, wind, and altitude; the output is a clean correction to add to your scope. That’s it—no fluff, just the numbers you need.

I’d pull out a small group of shots at a known distance. Fire the first few rounds, record where they hit, and compare that with what the table predicts. If the point of impact is consistently higher or lower, that’s your sign the windage or drop numbers are off. Then tweak the table by a small increment until the predicted and actual points line up. It’s all about measured data and a little adjustment. Also keep a log of the temperature and wind during those tests so you can see how those factors play out in real time.

I’m currently fine‑tuning a high‑altitude reconnaissance drone’s targeting system. It needs a custom ballistic profile for the new 7.62mm cartridge we’re testing, so a fresh windage table will help keep the drones’ shots tight.
