What goes into calculating wind drift?

[muleman]

Is wind drift a product of B.C. or does it involve mass and velocity besides wind speed?
Thanks for your input!

from an anecdotal (sp) view "wind drift" means shooting and watching where your bullet strikes and then correcting for it - you can use "equations" til the cows come home but in a hunting scenario you will never be able to ascertain with any certainty what the wind is doing "way out yonder" - the most useful way to "learn" wind drift shooting technique is to shoot ... shoot .... shoot .... and "yes" B.C. does have a relative impact on things to some degree - take a look at Berger Bullet's website and explanation of ballistic coefficients and what they mean to your shooting

All the above,,,,as they are all interconnected.
