Long range day

You can't see the target in the pics but it's out there I found a mtn top to set up on drove out set up a few targets one target at roughly at 500m then another around 800m and had two rifles set up for long range an ar15 with a bipod and 4-10x30 scope in 5.56 and a reminton 700sps varmint with a bipod and 4-16x 40 scope in 7.62x51.... It was pretty windy that day so the AR was having problems reaching out to the 500 I had a few good hits but 5.56 is a much lighter round so the wind gets ahold of it and makes it really hard to hold a good group that far way. Now the reminton with the 7.62 which is a heavier round had no issues hitting the 500 it was a fairly easy target with that rifle was able to get a lot of good hits then it came to the 800m target now I am new to long range shooting and once I got the adjustments right on the scope for the longer range I was getting really awesome shots on the 800m iv got to figure out the math to be able to change the scope settings without having to walk it in but it's a enjoyable work in progress
