If you first spot a Drone directly overhead and it is flying at an elevation of 300ft, going East at a speed of 60 mph, and the Wind is blowing from the Northeast at 5 mph ....And assume you already have your rifle and it's locked and loaded as you've been hoping to see one of these JBT gubmint spy toys for a while now.1) How much do have have to lead the drone with your rifle for a .308 caliber FMJ bullet in order to knock he gd thing out of the friggen sky and into a gazillion pieces?
and.....
2) Do you have to allow for windage deviation? Or can you ignore it due to the average heavy grain of a .308 FMJ bullet, and just allow for the lead?
Oh, for Extra Credit: What's the Name of the JBT sitting back in the control room playing with his joystick?
:-)
I cuold use a .308, but I don’t need to lead anything at 300 ft (100 yds.) if I break out “Ole’ Painless” (.50 cal)
About 100 ft., and hold just a little to the north, mebbe 6 inches or so...
Ten feet should do it, .12 seconds of travel for the round at 2500 ft./second to go 300 ft., .12 seconds of travel for the target at 88 ft./sec, puts the target 10.56 ft. further downrange, not allowing that the shot is along the hypotenuse of the triangle.
